Upon her return to New Hampshire, Gloria worked for Harris Graphics and then Four Corners Antiques until she retired.

Gloria loved to garden and would spend countless hours tending to her flower beds and shrubs. When she wasn't gardening, she enjoyed playing cards, working on puzzles, and crocheting. Gloria gifted handmade afghan blankets to her family, friends, and to the local VNA for other senior citizens to enjoy. Gloria was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots who seldom missed a game.  She was also a lover of all Alaskan survival reality TV shows and Chinese takeout.

She was the loving aunt to many nieces and nephews. Gloria was the sister of the late Eleanor Duncan and her husband John, the late Dorothy Johnston and her husband Walter, and the late Robert Secord and his wife Lillian.

Gloria will be remembered as the matriarch of her family, for her kind and generous spirit, and for all the love she gave everyone who was lucky enough to know her.
