After retiring, she proudly worked for Publix for over 23 years as a cashier and bakery clerk, where she was endearingly referred to as "Grandma'.

She endured many challenges which made her into the feisty, headstrong woman loved ones knew her for. Gloria was an avid reader, liked watching detective shows and never refused a game of rummy, especially with her grandkids. She also loved listening to music and not quietly, usually full blast in her car. Her top favorites were Nat King-Cole and The Rolling Stones, of which she saw both in person. A good day didn't go by without her Coca-Cola or Sprite. She said an once a day was all she needed to get her through a day.

She will be an unforgettable force to those that knew and loved her.
