To know Gloria, was to love her. She was a very sweet and classy lady who loved spending time with her family. One of her favorite hobbies included going to the lakes with her best friend and sister, Pam Jackson. She planted the most beautiful flowers every spring, made the best potato salad and pan-fried burgers, kept the cleanest house and was always the best dressed in the room. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Howard and Ina (Redic) Waymire; son, Christopher A. Hurst and beloved pet, Josie.

Gloria will be dearly missed by her daughter, Shelly Hurst-Baker; grandchildren, Brittney (Justin Cook) Shoemaker and Brady M.
