During this time she received both a Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Education. Gloria's final teaching position was at Garden City Collegiate where she taught French for almost 20 years. Although Gloria never had children of her own she always took a keen interest in all those around her and loved to learn of their interests, careers and travels. Gloria and Bohdan were married in July 1967 and were blessed with 38 years of marriage. These happy years included two homes overlooking the Red River as well as many travels throughout Europe and the Caribbean. The family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to Gloria's wonderful lifelong friends and caregivers for their loving support. Their care and devotion made independent living a possibility for Gloria until the age of 87. A service will be held at Cropo Funeral Chapel on February 6, 2015 at 11:00 a.m., led by Msgr. M. Comeault, with a reception to follow. An interment will be held at All Saints Cemetery. If friends so desire, donations may be made to a charity of one's choice.
