Gloria Jane Yates “Janie”, age 85, passed away peacefully on March 1st, 2024, after a lengthy illness.
She was born in July, 1938 in Broomes Island, MD. She was one of nine children born to Elizabeth and Levi Barnes, survived by two sisters, Carolyn and Linda.
Gloria graduated from Calvert County HS in 1956. Soon after, she went to work for the FBI in Washington D.C.. She met and married Donald Eugene Yates and had three children. She left the FBI after 20 years to care for her ailing husband. Her family was everything to her, which included her many furry “kids”. Gloria loved being outdoors whenever possible, working in her yard, growing beautiful flowers. She truly had a green thumb and loved all things green. We were blessed to have her all these years. She is survived by her three children Rhonda, Mike and Kris Yates. Two granddaughters, Victoria and Courtney Yates. She will forever be our “Sunshine”.

I’m so sorry to hear of Gloria Jane’s passing. She and Donnie were my parents’ neighbors for years and I knew all the Barns kids for most of my life. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. I hope the Lord brings comfort to the family knowing she had been reunited with Donnie and her siblings and parents who went before her,

So sorry to hear this news, my condolences and prayers are with her family and pray she is now at peace with her Lord and numerous loved ones who have gone on before her. It was a large family and now just two surviving. I’m sure her mother was a strong lady, having had lost her husband so young and having to raise her family on her own.
Broome’s Island was a small, friendly community and the school had the feeling of family. I started school at Broomes Island elementary in 1953 and remember Timmy and Perry who were near my age and Carolyn who was in 5th or 6th grade and I saw their sister Gloria at some point and I thought both of the girls were so pretty, I was in awe of them. I have fond memories of my elementary school days.
God bless you now in your time of sorrow and always.
