Gloria was such a beautiful soul in this world. She was caring, sweet and kind hearted. She also had a wonderful, contagious laugh. I loved trying my jokes out on her!! We will miss her dearly, but I know her bright spirit will live on.

Gloria, known to me as Mrs. Wood ♥ , was a second Mom to me for many, many years and I have cherished memories of everything she was to Lori and I in the days when we were inseparable. What a kind and sweet lady she was, always there to assist with anything we needed. She always welcomed me with loving arms and how I loved to be at their house. Even though I haven’t seen her for a long time I will treasure my memories of her and all that she was to me. I’m heartbroken for her family and send them comfort and prayers. Sending my love to all of you ♥, Kim (Kunowsky) Backus
