Gloria Georgie Martin

Gloria Georgie Martin, 84, of Spring, TX, passed away March 10, 2024. She was born in Delight, AR on September 25, 1939. Her schooling was in several states as her family followed the logging industry. She got married and started a family of her own in CA. She and her husband moved back to AR where she raised her children, until an opportunity came to move to Texas. Once there, and as her children matured, she sought higher education in Denver, CO, attending Mile High Reporting School. Glo (as she was called) embarked on another career in the Oil & Gas Industry in the 1980s making some lifelong friends along the way. But, her transcription skills played a big part as she went to work for State Farm Insurance Company. She retired from there in 2000.

Glo had a real compassion for stray cats and spent a lifetime rescuing them off the streets.
