Oh, my how we will miss Gloria! She was a beautiful and gentle soul. I loved having her join us in Bible Exploration. This summer she enjoyed some time outside as we ladies sat around the table and chatted. She was a light here of sweetness and I pray some of her kindness and gentleness will live on in us here as I am sure it does in you.
Our deepest sympathy to your family for your loss. Gloria was a very special lady…. I have very fond memories of helping in the kitchen at Grandfield…. Gloria was always smiling and she had a little twinkle in her eye when she spoke of her family. Gloria and Norris were often the first to arrive at Grandfield to prepare for the Sunday service. What wonderful memories…..Our prayers are with you now….

Gloria Berglund Rud was my first cousin, my dad, Harold and Victor were brothers. Gloria is the last child of the Victor Berglund family. She had a soft heart just like her mom, Gladys. Gloria always trusted our Lord God.
She will be missed.
