Gloria graduated from Campbell County High School in May of 1948, at the age of 17 years old.  From Gloria’s high school graduation until the day she died, she had a life full of adventure and a life of helping people.

  Princess Diana once said: “I knew what my job was; it was to go out and meet the people and love them.”  This is exactly what Gloria during her lifetime.

Moore.  Gloria worked at the Stockyards from 1960 until 1975.  In 1975, Gloria needed a change of pace and looked for employment elsewhere.  In the winter of 1977 Gloria left the tropical climate of Phoenix and braved the harsh snowy winters of Anchorage, Alaska, where she accepted a job as a Civil Servant working for the Corps of Engineers at Elmendorf Air Force Base.  Gloria in the summer of 1978, upon returning to Phoenix and worked for Repple Steel Company and was introduced to modern computer technology.   Gloria also found time while raising a family as well as working a time to obtain her piolets license as well as became a member of the Civil Air Patrol.

During the December of that year, she received a Christmas card from Wm. E. Moore “Bill” who she had meet and made a profound impression on while working at The Stockyards.  After a few more meeting with Bill, she drove to Van Horn, to meet his family.  After several trips by both Gloria and Bill between Phoenix and Van Horn, Bill proposed to Gloria in 1980, and they were married on April 16th, 1981 on Bill’s birthday, and she moved to Van Horn, Texas.

Gloria and Bill took over and ran the Greyhound Bus Station until 1991 when Greyhound rescinded the contract from Gloria and Bill.  Continuing with the helping spirt and the love of people, Gloria went to work for Mr. Don Collins at the Chevron Truck Stop.  In 2000, Mr. Collins sold the truck stop in 2000, and Gloria soon followed Mr. Collins at Collin’s Oil later renaming it Connel Oil.  Gloria worked for Mr. Collin’s up until the day she died, only know a heart of helping and loving others.  Gloria was a member of the Van Horn Lion’s Club and the Red Hat Society.  In which her severing others continued.

Those left behind to honor and cherish Gloria’s amazing life are her daughters: Becky Furino of Arroyo Grande, California and Deborah Ann Loretz of Van Horn, Texas.  As well as many family and friends that Gloria touched during her amazing life.

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.  I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.  When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night.  Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.

Memorials may be made to the Breast Cancer Society.

The Moore Family has entrusted Heritage Funeral Home with professional arrangements.
