Gloria graduated from Commerce High School. She was employed as a courier and enjoyed proudly sharing that she completed her deliveries during the Blizzard of 1978.  She was a graceful, independent, and kind woman who always made an effort to compliment others. Her love of style was evident by her meticulous appearance. She was proud of her Finnish heritage and fondly recalled times with family. She enjoyed traveling and quiz shows.

Gloria’s family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the UMass Memorial 4 East neurological staff, the palliative care team, and the VNA Hospice for the wonderful care provided and the compassion shown to Gloria and her family.
