Gloria was born on Feb. 11, 1945, in Louisville, Ky., to Lawrence and Elva Lena (Gibson) Zill. After Gloria's mother passed away, she was raised by her father and stepmother, Emma Zill.

Gloria loved to play Yahtzee and would never miss a good game of bingo at the Boys Club, Eagles and Regency Square. She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially at Christmas, as she enjoyed the decorations and festivities.

Those left to honor her memory include her children, Gene (Rita) Flair of Sioux City and Jennifer Flair of Sioux City; three grandkids, Mariah, Justus, and Reilly Flair, all of Sioux City; and her sister, Barbara Spencer of Spillville, Iowa.

She is preceded in death by her parents; and her husband.
