Encarnation Gloria Hoetzel

Encarnation Gloria Hoetzel, self-referred to as “Gloria”, and affectionately known as “Mom”, “Gram”, or “Grammy Grams”, peacefully departed for heaven on Thursday, October 1st, surrounded by her loving family.

Gloria was born on December 9th, 1930, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She graduated from Hallahan High School. She later moved to Levittown, Pennsylvania with her husband, Jack, where they raised their family. She worked at First Federal Bank for many years, proudly rising to the position of Branch Manager. She celebrated her faith as a long-time parishioner at Queen of the Universe Parrish. She loved to provide meals and baked goods for family and friends, especially her Christmas butter cookies and zucchini bread. She also enjoyed attending various sporting events and activities to support her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and was often considered the team’s collective “Grandma”.

She joins her husband, John A. Hoetzel (“Jack”), sisters Mercy Allen and Dolores Miller, and her parents whom she lost in her adolescence, who preceded her in death. She is survived by her daughter, Gloria Johnson (Martin Kennedy), son, John Hoetzel, granddaughters Jenna Johnson (Joseph Montanya), Michelle McGhee (Lance McGhee), and Keron Hoetzel, as well as great-grandchildren Makayla Montanya and Maisie Montanya.

Gloria will be interred at Resurrection Cemetery in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, alongside Jack.
