Gloria Yvonne Manuel Schuh
October 30, 1940 – February 9, 2023
Gloria Yvonne Manuel Schuh, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away on February 9, 2023, surrounded by her loved ones by her side. She was born on October 30, 1940 in Washington, DC to Charles and Mavis Milburn.
Gloria was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Fulton (Bill) Manuel, her husband Gerald Schuh, her sister Marjorie Scheel and her brother in-law Frederick Grant Scheel.
Gloria was a loving mother, survived by her son Terrence Manuel (Barbara) of Mechanicsville, MD, her son Daryl Manuel (Sue) of Solomon’s MD, and daughter Ashley Manuel Taggart of Williamsburg, VA, her grandsons Ben Manuel, Bryce Manuel and Will Manuel and her granddaughters Josie Manuel and Evie Taggart. She is also survived by her njeces (like sisters) Priscilla Jane Scheel Rollins, Marjorie Judith Scheel Moore and Donna Joan Scheel Lauritson.
Gloria grew up in Washington, DC where she graduated from Anacostia High-School in 1958. She then worked for an insurance company in DC. Early on she moved to Solomon’s in 1974 where she lived for 49 years, until present day. Once she had her children she was a homemaker, caring for her children for years. She also helped her husband, Bill, with the family mechanical business. Later in life she enjoyed working at El Paso Marine in Lusby, MD, until their closure. She went on to work with her good friend, Richard Fisher, at Lighthouse Properties and Lighthouse restaurant. Afterwards she worked as an office manager/secretary at Calvert Marina until she retired. Gloria enjoyed being outside and loved spending time on the water in her younger years, where she absolutely loved being at the family home in Piney Point where she spent her summers boating, swimming and fishing with her father in her youth. In her adult years she cooked many delicious meals, and was an avid gardener, enjoying as she lovingly tended to her flower garden and plants. She was also an avid reader and always had a good book lying nearby or on her kindle. Her family was always her passion, however, and she enjoyed family gatherings and just being with them more than anything else. She was loved by everyone she knew.

My deepest sympathies to the family on the loss of Gloria. Gloria was such a blessing to me and always had the biggest smile. I love making her laugh or shake her head at me. I have such fond memories of her and will cherish them always. One thing about Gloria is she knew how to love unconditionally and was so generous with her love. Her children were everything to her and you never doubted that or her loyalty. She was a strong woman that had such a tenderness and kindness inside of her. Rest well my friend. Thank you for being a friend. Until we meet again.

Sending love, hugs and prayers to the whole family as you celebrate Gloria, a truly lovely lady. She was part of my husband’s life for probably 60 years and mine for over 30! So many special memories throughout the years. And those delicious pies she baked….💗🤗

Gloria was the nicest sweetest person and had a smile that would brighten up a room.
Our boys grew up together and we would share our war stories about them and laughed about how we made through all their teenage years and how proud we were of the wonderful men them they became . I am so heartbroken for them as I know they will miss her terribly.

I am so saddened to hear that we lost Gloria. She was so kind and special. I will never forget her Pecan Pies that came around to my dad’s house Thanksgiving and Christmas. My father Alton would give you the shirt off his back, but when it came to sharing one of Gloria’s pies, you could forget about it. Hand’s off were the rule, but I always managed to sneak a sliver. God Bless to the family.

Gloria (Mrs. Manuel as I’ve always called her) was such a loving caring mom, for someone who had been through so much in life I was always amazed at how she never let that keep her down. She always took care of her family and made sure her boys knew they were loved. As teenagers and young men we would hang out at her home, she always welcomed us and her smile and laughter could brighten up any room. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Rest in peace.
