Gloria grew up in Detroit and attended Chadsey High School, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude and was voted best hair (redhead) in her class. She earned a college scholarship, but threw it all away to marry the love of her life, Leo. They shared 52 years of marriage until Leo passed away in 2002. Together, they shared many interests; bowling, playing cards, and watching their children and grandchildren play a variety of sports. They were the ultimate bleacher creatures! They enjoyed spending their winters in Florida and their summers at the cottage. She loved drinking coffee with the family on the porch in the morning and at night she was always ready for a euchre tournament. Gloria's sense of humor was boundless and her laugh was contagious. Heaven has certainly become a much happier place now that Gloria is a resident.

Gloria was survived by her four children, Dave Ehehalt (Bert), Don Ehehalt, Diane Ehehalt (Carol), and Deb Colasanti (John). Gloria was also blessed with four grandchildren, Jennifer Harris (Tim), Jay Johnson (Jen), Lauren Allen (Nick) and Julia Colasanti. She has three awesome great grandchildren as well, Penni Harris, Parker Harris and Lock Harris.
