Born on October 30, 1943, to Leslie and Marjorie Riter in Wauseon Ohio, she remained an Ohio resident for her entire life. Gloria lived a full life and enjoyed many things over her years.
She was a very creative woman with talent as an interior and exterior designer, she had a fascination for technology, she was a crafter who loved making unique cards for family and friends, she was a licensed pilot who enjoyed “puttering around the skies” in her Cessna, and she was one who always looked forward to the next adventure.
