She worked for a period of time at Jockey International, and as a sales person for Turner's Drug Store and Mr. Quick. She enjoyed most of her life serving as a homemaker raising her children and making memories with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

To know Gloria was to love her. She always had a smile on her face, which made her dimples shine. Her sense of humor was out of this world, she loved to laugh and see others laughing. She loved to go dancing with her husband, James, whom she was married to for 64 years before his death in 2016. Gloria was one of those mothers who loved to have her daughters and their friends over to her house so she could spoil them as much as she did her girls. Later on in life, when she became a Nanny, she to loved and spoil her grandchildren as much as she had their mothers.
