Of Portuguese descent, our Glo grew up in British Guiana on a sugar plantation. She has lived in the Caribbean including Barbados and St. Lucia, before moving to Canada. Gloria was a young and joyous soul keeping up to date on the lives of her family, music, every tennis event, and world issues. She never shied away from giving advice whether you wanted it or not and She greeted every encounter with curiosity, compassion, and eagerness. Glo lived all over the world, moving due to social unrest, sometimes job opportunities with her husband, or choice because she found a place she loved. She was generous, loving, open minded and had an incredible ability to make friends with anyone she met. With the British, Portuguese and Guyanese tradition in her soul, she would insist you eat and have a drink whenever you visited and loved cooking. Her joy for life extended to tending plants which she always surrounded herself with. Watching things grow gave her such joy. Her kindness and generosity were something that never dwindled, and her spark never went out. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff of the Ajax Pickering hospital, 2 East, who took amazing care of Glo. Arrangements entrusted to McEachnie Funeral home and a private family interment has been planned. A celebration of Gloria's life is planned for November 27, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at The Heydenshore Pavilion 589 Water St, Whitby.

Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep; yet since you could no longer stay to cheer us with your love, we hope to meet with you again in the bright world above. We are sad within our memory, lonely are our hearts today; for the one we loved so dearly has forever been called away. We think of you in silence, no eye may see us weep; but many silent tears are shed when others are asleep.
