She was active in senior dog rescue, placing older dogs with seniors in need of companionship. Later on Gloria traveled to many parts of the world and wrote travel reviews. In her most recent years, she split her time living part of the year with her daughter and son-in-law in Atlanta, and the other part with her son and daughter-in-law in Brandon. She was a member of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Waupun.
