Gloria Newman Gremillion

Gloria Newman Gremillion found peace on Sunday, July 12, 2020 at the age of 61 surrounded by her family. She was born in New Orleans on September 5, 1958 and was a long-time resident of Metairie, LA. She is survived by her three children, Jennifer Parker (Kyle), Nicholas Gremillion (Caitlin) and Sean Gremillion (Asha). She was the beloved daughter of John James Newman (deceased) and Gloria Theresa Newman (deceased), sister of Phyllis Kohler (Brett), Dorothy Ponko (Paul), David Newman (Daphine), Ellen Newman (Mark), Linda Newman, and is also survived by many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Gloria, also known as "Glo-worm" or "Casper (the friendly ghost)", grew-up in New Orleans and attended Warren Easton High School.

She loved writing, folk music and musicals, visiting the mountains and the beach, cheesy science fiction movies, gardening and eating at Tiffin Inn (deceased). She was an Olympic cleaning gold-medalist, Yahtzee champion, and a nanny to all children.

She was the true representation of Christs' spirit - nurturing, self-less, kind, loving and forgiving. She lived her life, endured hardships, and fought her illness, with grace and a quiet strength.

Funeral services will be held on July 17, 2020 at Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home, 4747 Veterans Blvd. Metairie, LA. Due to current Covid-19 restrictions, a limited visitation for friends and colleagues will be held from 9-10AM, followed by a private visitation and service for the immediate family.
