She enjoyed taking care of the sick wether they were adults, her children or other people's children, she did it all. Gloria had so many of her children's friends in her home, and she fed them all. She loved arts and crafts, puzzles and most of all playing games with the family, don't expect to win a game of jacks or beat her at eating crabs.

Gloria enjoyed the Senior Prom that was held every September. It was an occasion where all of the residents dressed in their finest. She was very happy when she was crowned prom Queen in 2007.

She was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Nana. She had a vivacious personality and always made people around her laugh. Her extensive vocabulary was more than highly proficient at knowing more curse words than most people learn in a lifetime.

Everyone always knew where you stood with her.She liked you or she didn't, it was black or white. As her children we are still trying to figure out which one it was with us ( we know she loved us).

She was a master cook in the kitchen. She believed in putting your foot in everything you make. She loved cooking so much she started a catering business for weddings, birthdays, and parties. She was an amazing women who taught all her kids the true meaning to the way of your mans heart.

Preceding her death was her husband ,sister Mrs.Bernice Dutton, mother Dorthy Williams, stepfather Frank Williams, grandmother Lucy Mays, mother-in-law Evelyn Tyson and her grandson, Dana Clark.

All whom loved her dearly and will never forget her tenacit, wit, charm, grace(when pertinen) and undying love and caring for them.

A private family "celebration of life" will be held at Sharp Street Memorial United Methodist on 1206 Etting Street Baltimore, Maryland 21217, in lieu of service, due to her friends not being able to attend, because they decided to beat her to the pearly white gates.
