Earlier in life, Gloria was employed at the former Martin Shirt Factory, Shenandoah. Later, she worked as a retail clerk at the former K-Mart in the Schuylkill Mall, Frackville and then at the former Rite-Aid, Shenandoah until her retirement.

Gloria was a member of Divine Mercy Parish, Shenandoah and formerly held membership in Saint Casimir Parish and Saint George Parish. She was also a member of the Greater Shenandoah Area Senior Citizens and the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America.
