The Board of Directors of the Shelburne County Senior Safety and Services Society extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends, colleagues, and clients of Gloria, who passed away peacefully on August 7, 2026.

For the past 10 years, Gloria generously volunteered her time as a valued member of our Board. She was a strong and compassionate advocate for seniors and for those who could not advocate for themselves. Her kindness, gentle nature, and dedication to helping others made a lasting difference in our community.

Gloria will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working with her. Our thoughts are with her sisters, Marilyn and Susan, and all those who are mourning this sudden loss.

Leaving to mourn are her two surviving sisters Marilyn Ray (Leon) of Penticton BC, and Susan Calnen of Elmsdale NS. She was predeceased by one sister Nanci Marie McLennan (October 4, 2022). Her surviving precious kitty, Cara Mia, is happily adjusting to her new home.
