Obituary: Gloria Lillian Pierce was surrounded by all of her children when she passed away peacefully at the age of 92 on May 27, 2015 at St. Vincents Hospital in Portland, Oregon. Her only grandchild and her pride and joy, Abby, had travelled from out of town to see her the day before and they had a memorable last visit. Gloria sat up in bed for the only time and leaned all her weight into Abby sitting beside her and they both fell back into the pillows laughing. That was Glorias most activity during her short 2-day hospitalization and we e sure she knew her granddaughter was beside her when she rallied one last time. Born as Gloria Lillian Gillette on 5, 1922 in Merced, CA to parents Elsie and Albert Gillette, Gloria moved to Hillsboro and then Portland OR and graduated from Lincoln High School. graduation, she worked at General Tool and rode as a princess on their company float in the Rose Festival. We often reminisced about her days as a Rose Festival Princess and she never missed a Rose Festival Queens Coronation or the Rose parade on T.V. Gloria married Joseph Pierce on 5, 1946 in Portland OR and they shared almost 50 happy years together before Joe passed away on 8, 1995. Gloria was a Navy wife as Joe was a Lt. Cmdr. in the Navy which took the family to San Diego, CA in 1952 where he was stationed and served in the Korean War. returned to Oregon and spent most of the next 30 years in the Parkrose area of NE Portland, moving amongst 5 different homes in a 7 block area as they came and went following brief transfers to Baker and Tillamook for Joes telephone company job. Gloria worked primarily as a homemaker but during her childrens school years in Parkrose she also worked at the Little Store, a small mom and pop grocery store a few blocks from home. Here her children and their friends would visit after school for special candy treats and to help her with inventory, slicing lunch meats and other tasks around the store. During one shift at the grocery store, Gloria was held up at gun-point! All ended without incident but we don think she ever planned to add that scary incident to her resume! Gloria also worked for a time in retail at the Gateway Shopping at Liberty House (now known as Macys). Glorias wit and humor were distinct parts of her always happy personality. Some of her favorite Gloria-isms were: "She's funny and she has bushy hair" - a comment made years ago by one of her grade-school classmates. Over the years we would often laughingly repeat that remark and it always brought forth a good laugh. "How's Flomar?" - daughter Susan's family dog Reggie was affectionately referred to by the family as Flomar from a favorite family movie, "Martian Child." In recent years Gloria began every phone conversation or family visit with this question and it became one of our favorite family "traditions". Susan, its time to eat.wheres my soup?? Ill need some salt please! - spoken frequently in the last year when she enjoyed various home-made chicken soups for most of her meals. Go U Mighty Beavs as she watched every play of every game played by her beloved Oregon State Beaver sports teams. Cmon Maria precious, do it for Gloria! - Maria Sharapova was her favorite tennis player and she spent many long hours in front of the tv watching and cheering her on to victory. Go Tiger (Woods) - her favorite golfer. Gloria never understood why Tiger couldn birdie every hole and win every tournament he played. Hows Flomar? - daughter Susans family dog Reggie was affectionately referred to by the family as Flomar from a favorite family movie, Martian Child. We have lift-off.splash down - a favorite phrase of Glorias in her last few years as we battled constipation! The list of Glorias witty phrases is endless. She made us all laugh each and every day and her children like to think they inherited something of her wonderful sense of humor. Gloria had many favorite pastimes including watching T.V. and movies, playing cards and music. She enjoyed pinochle, canasta, black jack, Chicago rummy and memory and shed get very upset if someone knocked before shed had a chance to look at all her cards! She loved all types of music but her favorite performer bar none was Tom Jones who she saw in concert several times and screamed as loud as the women half her age! She was a good dancer and she and her husband Joe made quite a pair on the dance floor! Joe was an accomplished pianist and Gloria loved listening to him play, hour after hour. She thoroughly enjoyed watching her favorite T.V. shows Seinfeld and the Golden Girls and her DVR was filled with dozens of episodes for her instant viewing pleasure! Her DVR also held several of her favorite movies including Bird Cage (one must always have a hint of color), Rain Man (3 minutes to Whopner) and Scent of a Woman (hoooo...ahhhhhhh!) Glorias favorite activity was anything having to do with her only grandchild and apple of her eye, Abby. To say she was a doting grandmother would be a HUGE understatement! She hosted weekly dinners for Abbys family and fed, read books and played with her baby granddaughter throughout her early childhood. She attended all of Abbys school programs and sporting events and beamed with pride at Abbys graduation ceremonies for high school, college and pharmacy school. Abbys pharmacy training came in very handy for Glorias medication management the last few years and Gloria always marveled at her granddaughters intelligence and accomplishments. Gloria was loved by many and will be cherished forever in the continued... |
