I worked with Gloria at Maben Energy 1988-1992. She was always so fun to talk to. I would see her out after that and always had a nice chat. She was always wearing a smile. My deepest sympathy to her children, family and friends.

Ms. Gloria and I have been sisters (and will again) since the 50's. Over the years, we managed to keep in touch and renewed a fabulous friendship after my return to WV in 2010. The passed few months 🙏🏼, praise Jesus ❤️, has made us closer and closer. I watched her go very slowly and very painfully. I was very distraught when she left me here to be with our Lord Jesus. I am looking for to seeing 👀 there when I go home 🏡 to share our love and friendship while praising Jesus. My condolences to her family. I pray you will never fail to remember her and all her love for each of you. God bless you 🙏🏼 Pam Coalson-Magargal.
