Gloria was born June 24, 1929 in St. Louis, Missouri to the Rev. Arthur and Anna (Weeke) Bohlmann. On June 28, 1952 Gloria married Harley Stigge at St. John’s Lutheran Church in LaGrange, Illinois.
Gloria was a graduate of West Point High School in Nebraska. She received her Elementary degree from St. John’s College in Winfield, Kansas.
