During her 79 years on earth and 59 years married to Willis, she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She supported her husband by working at their local Windham Hardware store, managing the license bureau and Gloria’s Garden Mart. She enjoyed spending time with multiple groups of friends including her card club group in Windham, Ohio and her happy hour group in Fort Myers, Florida. She enjoyed the sun and the daily 4:00 happy hour with neighbors and a small glass of White Zin.
When not with friends or family you could always find her playing cards, making jigsaw puzzles, watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy or any other game show on TV.
