After the passing of Milan, Gloria continued to farm with her sons, which she was so proud to do. Gloria was very proud to have farmed with her husband and share this experience of working with her three sons. The farm was such a great part of her life. Gloria was a long time, devoted and faithful member of the Montana United Methodist Church. Her last Sunday before joining her Lord and Savior, she wanted to attend worship services. Her love of family was shown by her love to cook, bake bread and prepare meals for them, always with love in her heart.

She will long be remembered for her strong work ethics, love of family and love of her Lord and Savior. Gloria will always hold a special place in the hearts of all those blessed to have known her.
