Gloria had a life full of adventures. She once owned a bass boat she named “Glo Worm” and she caught a lot of Crappie and had many fish fries with family and friends during those years. She also held a funeral directors license for many years and was especially gifted in making all the ladies that had passed away look their best for their families. She would fix their hair and do their nails and make-up to perfection. She was a great seamstress, making clothes and costumes as needed in the 60’s and 70’s.

Gloria’s most prized accomplishment came with ownership of Bay Toys Toy Fox Terries. With over 70 years of dedication to the perfection of the Toy Fox Terrier breed; Bay Toys produced an unmeasurable amount of National Grand Champions under the United Kennel Club banner. She was a mentor and friend to all in the industry. Some have called her a legend due to her extension knowledge and willingness to share said knowledge. She was a breeder, trainer and judge for many dog shows across the United States and Canada.

Our family is grateful for the prayers, love, and support shown during this difficult time. Gloria’s legacy lives on in the lives of her daughter, grandchildren, great-grandchild, and all those she loved so dearly. We would like to especially thank Cherri & Jeff Askew, Jeff & Annie Campbell and Melissa Locke for providing care and supporting Gloria during her declining years.
