Obituary: Gloria Mae Duerksen, age 93 of Warren, died , 9, 2016 at home surrounded by her loving family. She was born May 17, 1923 in Detroit, daughter of the late Arthur Leo and the late Pauline (nee: Heckh) Geschke. From an early age Gloria was a strong and willful woman. She realized early on in life that God had given her two feet and two legs to use for walking… and walk she did her entire life. Gloria never drove nor attained a drivers license, however, she chose to walk to most errands and stores. Gloria would even trek to her parents house on 7 mile and Mound Road from her home on Ryan and 10 1/2 mile. As a young mother, she raised four children, three boys and a girl. A very resourceful woman, Gloria would cook, clean, sew for all of her family members. She created and sewed her sisters wedding dress, tailored dresses for her mother, along with the many aprons produced throughout the years. Later, she made tops for her daughters and granddaughters. Along the way, she also learned to Macramé. Another crafty skill she enjoyed was crocheting. Her home was adorned with many of the household drapes, bedspreads, scarves, and dresser sets that she set her hands to create. Though many of her pieces may have answered the call of necessity, there was no mistaking that they were also works of art. Gloria was a hard working woman who always found time to be a caregiver to others. She was a caregiver to her parents. as well as cooking and providing for their medical needs including specialty meals for their diabetic needs. Hard work began with Glorias first home which had 20 stairs for her to climb throughout the day. With the bedrooms upstairs, the laundry machine in the basement, and the dryer wringer on the porch, she truly had her own brand of getting exercise.. Hanging the clothes on the clothesline in the backyard followed these duties. At home raising her children, Gloria was the consummate homemaker who could cook, clean, can vegetables, bake with the best of them. At Christmas time, her kitchen magic was often shared in the gifts of homemade fudge and coffeecakes of which her family were the grateful benefactors. She hosted many birthday parties, graduation parties, and wedding receptions, and later washed and cleaned up after these events, and even waxed floors. Gloria was a Jack or Jackie of all trades. She could do and achieve almost anything she put her mind to from washing walls to cleaning RVs, electrical to plastering, moving furniture, painting, and even disassembling a vent fan and reassembling it. She was always first to lend a helping hand to others and even assisted her neighbor trying to resuscitate her dying husband. Gloria was also known for being a bit of a Tomboy. She enjoyed camping in nature and could dig up bait, bait a hook, fish, clean the fish, then cook them. Gloria could also do the same with frogs and make delicious frog legs. She also enjoyed playing sports including bowling. If caring for her family and parents wasn enough, Gloria was also involved in the sales of Avon products which she enjoyed for over eight years. Other jobs during her life included waitressing at Marcus Hamburgers, a production typist at R.L. Polk and , a comptometer operator at Acme Paint where she developed index systems for filing, and a typist at MUROC Air Corps where she redesigned the filing systems within the war asset administration headquarters. Additionally she worked at Sears and Roebuck company, and cooked at the local UAW. One of Glorias fondest accomplishments was her membership within the Barbershop Chorus of which she was associated for over 18 years. Gloria joined the group to sing and dance, two of her favorite passions. Over the years, she composed over 350 songs by ear all the while never being able to read a note of music. She was gifted and self-taught. One of Glorias compositions even reached the semi-final level for the State of Michigan theme song competition, something for which she was quite proud. Later in life when she was unable to perform, she continued to participate through fundraising for the Eastpointe Chorus. Gloria was the beloved wife of the late Bennhart. Dear mother of Mike W. (Mary) Duerksen, John A. (Sunee) Duerksen, Patricia A. (Mark) Holden, and Richard L. (Prayad) Duerksen. Loving grandmother of Cynthia (Lauren) Duerksen, Catherine Duerksen, Mark Holden Jr., Amy (Josh) Barnhart, Michael (Elizabeth) Duerksen, Jennifer (Norman) Dellinger, Lisa (Mark) Sigmon, John (Kandace Bashaw) Duerksen, and Jackie (Steve) Russell. She is also survived by great-grandchildren, Austin D., Austin H., Teddy, Georgia, Dominic, Aleah, Ellie, Henry, Cora, Hailey, Nevaeh, Tyler, James David J.D., and a blessed baby boy on the way. She was the devoted sister of Barbara Westerberg. Gloria was preceded in death by grandchild, Elizabeth Duerksen, nephew, Jeffrey Westerberg, and her late brother, Arthur Geschke.
