To the family,
Our hearts are saddened by the loss of our dear neighbor, Gloria. For 11 years we swapped stories, meals, help around the house and good neighborly conversations. She watched our daughter grow from a five year old to a seventeen year old senior in high school, and loved her like she was her own granddaughter. We will always treasure our memories with her and hope that she is at peace. Sending our prayers to you all.
Sincerely,
Holly, Craig and Andie Maupin
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families. We always loved Grandma Gloria and shared some very fun times together.
We share your sorrow, but take comfort in knowing she’s your angel looking down on you from the heavens above.

Gloria exemplifies someone full of life and fun. We remember her telling stories about her life and some of the exciting and interesting times she had.
We would lovingly call her a “real hoot” and she would laugh at the thought.
Her smile will be missed.
Our condolences to John, Pat, Joe, Debbie and family

Prayers for Gloria’s family .
I was able to meet Gloria through my mom Bety LeBaube whom was in the group of high school friends which included Gloria . I would have to say she was the (Leader of the pack , in high school and later in life when they all vacationed , went to the theatre,Gambled , had monthly lunches together among other things the group of Friends did together .
It was definitely a special bond that lasted decades. Gloria was so friendly and personable along with funny and loving ,
I could see why she was a friend of my mom’s. I know she was well loved by many friends and her family and I feel she must have had an interesting life , I do wish I could’ve hung out with their group more than I did . My wish is that the group of girlfriends are reunited in heaven having a blast like they did here in their lifetime .
My thoughts are with her family.
Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Gloria’s beautiful family.
We have such wonderful memories of Gloria, especially of time spent on Hood Canal.
Her love of life was infectious.
She will be missed.
May she rest in piece.
I can not tell you how much Gloria meant to me . We always had so much fun shopping and working with here made every day easy to go in to work. I loved and still do love her so much and will miss her terrible. She will always be in my heart and I know I will see her again and I can’t wait to see her smiling face and her warm hugs .
We all have such fond memories of Gloria, she lived life to its full, and had great stories to tell. Always full of fun and joy, and always caring and interested in others. A wonderful person all round and we are enriched for knowing her even just a little.
Sending love to all family and friends as we cannot be there.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families. We knew her as Aunt Glo. She was a great high light to my day when we owned Cuisine d Art in Eureka MO. She Lived above CDA first kitchen and then worked at the restaurant in downtown Eureka. She always had fun and loved everyone.
She will be missed !
