Many know Gloria as stern; more importantly she was an amazing mother of one, her beloved Craig Marks I, stepmother to 4, combined grandmother to 13, great grandmother to 10 and a friend to everyone she met. Gloria took great care of her mother late in life and survived her 3 brothers and 2 sisters, Stanley, Kenneth, Robert, Wanda, and Nancy, her baby sister whom she adored. Gloria loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus and was the personification of strength with love. A true beacon of light to everyone who knew her and was always ready to lend a helping hand. Gloria loved her Peace Lutheran Church, Pastor Imme and all the wonderful congregation. She attended for over 45 years, was the treasurer and committed a large portion of her life to the church and ministries as a labor of love and devotion. She knew God’s word well and held fast to God’s precious promise of eternal life in Christ Jesus.
