She and Cleve had been together for 47years, spending the last 45 living in the community they dearly love, and fighting to resolve major issues such as the protection of our pristine hillside by the formation of the Monrovia Wilderness Preserve.<br><br>Her celebration of life will be held on Thursday, October 10th at Live Oak Memorial, with services beginning at the onsite chapel at 10:00 am, followed by a celebratory lunch reception at the Monrovia Community Center in the Kay Dalton Room.<br><br>It is Gloria’s wish for services to be open to all Monrovians wanting to honor and celebrate her life.
