Willis, TX Friday, October 25, 2024 My heart goes out deeply to my children Jason, Stephanie, Joshua and Monica along with grandchildren & great-grandchild over the loss of their granny. Granny was like a mother to them. She loved them dearly and they love her the same. She was there for them, prayed for them and was an awesome role model. I’m deeply saddened for Glenda, her children and grandchildren as well. I know the same love and devotion was matched for all of them and from them all. Gloria will be deeply missed by all.Debbie Mobley

Livingston, TX Thursday, October 24, 2024 It saddens me deeply that we no longer have Gloria among us, but we are comforted in the sure knowledge that she has been enlisted into the Heavenly Choir when she so often lifted her voice in praise and worship of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
