January 14, 2021 12:12 PMI absolutely loved caring for Gloria! Her sense of humor was the best! Dry whit who can’t love that.. she’d often teach me old school nursing ways. Her love for wine and cheese days I’ll never forgot! She knew I wasn’t a wine fan, she’d always tell me to bring a beer. I’d reply with I can’t drink at work, she’d reply with sure you can I won’t tell... lol wonderful lady!! Prayers sent to her family!

January 12, 2021 10:17 PMGloria was one of my mentors as a young nurse. I truly learned so very much from her as a nurse and as a person. She was respected and loved by patients, doctors and staff. She was a blessing and I feel fortunate to have known her.

January 12, 2021 1:10 PMGloria was one of the best nurses that Monmouth Hospital ever had and working with her was an honor. I have benefited from her experience, knowledge and kindness and I have passed on her advice many times, but I could never match her wisdom and in my eyes she was truly one of a kind.
