Gloria was born in Chicago, IL on December 13, 1934. She was a 1952 graduate of Bowen High School in Chicago, IL, and a 1956 graduate of the South Chicago Hospital School of Nursing.

And after his passing, Gloria was a long-time resident of Marengo, IL, where in retirement she volunteered at Zion Lutheran Church’s “Rainbows” program, helping children cope with the loss of parents. She enjoyed knitting, baking cookies for her grandchildren, and taking long motor trips to see friends with her dog “Buddy” by her side.

Gloria is survived by her loving son, Thomas Webb II and his incredible wife Angel, her accomplished grandson, Thomas Jay III, her brilliant granddaughter Sophie Mei, her loving brother Robert Albrecht and his wonderful wife Sandy, her beloved nieces and nephews Pamela, Sharon, Frank Jr. and Stephen, and many cousins throughout the country.
