After emigrating from Italy in 1950, Gloria worked at Mikes Café in Painesville and later, the Rayon Corp in the early 1960s. She retired from working to raise a family of 5 children.

Her spaghetti, pizza, and other dishes were second to none. Over the years Gloria crocheted countless blankets for family and friends.  She loved gardening with her husband and had a green thumb, growing a wide array of vegetables and herbs in her garden which she always shared with her family. She was very giving and you rarely left her house empty handed.
