Gloria was an artist at heart. She was an accomplished seamstress, painter, Interior designer, and all things crafty. She took great pleasure in many things, such as travel, music, and fine art. Gloria loved the beach, fine food and her grandchildren. There were no limits to her creativity and she could see beauty and potential in the most unpredictable objects and places. She was also an enthusiastic genealogist and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
A private service was held by family members where Gloria was laid to rest with her husband of fortyeight years, Douglas Vance and her parents in a family plot at Paynetown Cemetery, Quinlan, Texas.
Donations in Gloria’s name to Disabled American Veterans or The Humane Society would be greatly appreciated.
