I am so sorry about Gloria’s passing. I had every intention of attending the services. I just looked on line and realized I missed it! I am so sorry, my brain “just ain’t what it used to be!” May she rest in peace. God bless!

Gloria is an icon of North Adams business history. Being successfully self-employed for so many years is an achievement attained by very few. She will always be remembered for her positive addition to local beauty.

Our sympathy to the family. We loved to see Gloria come to the jewelry store. She always had a bright smile and wonderful outlook. Main St. wasn’t the same without her sign in the Dowlin block window.
