Gloria loved people, which made her years in customer service easy. Before she retired she worked at Canadian Tire and loved helping people whether she was working or not.
She loved spending time on the lake, whether it was time at the cabin or fishing with her family.
She was a very strong woman who instilled life lessons in her daughter, whom she spent most of her free time with. They loved bingo, shopping and just being together.
