Beloved wife of the late Charles D. Hays; cherished daughter of the late Howard E. Blenden and Rose Marie V. Shelby; dear sister of Shirley A. Kappauff, Mary Lee (David) Pettyjohn, and James R. Zull; treasured aunt of Daron (Leslie Dillender) Kappauff, Doug (Beth) Kappauff, Dawn Pettyjohn, Lora (Joe) Devine, Ryan (Sarah) Zull, Danny (Mandy) Zull, Riley Zull, and Emily Zull; loving great-aunt, cousin, & friend to many.

Gloria’s greatest joy was spending time with her family. She was a long-time member, over 45 years with the Chris-Tones. She retired after close to 50 years with Ralston Purina, and Gloria loved going to the casinos and enjoyed life to the fullest. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
