Gloria and her late husband were known to many for years as part of a family that managed and operated The Blue Hills Ski Area. Gloria managed the kitchen. Throughout the years, she so enjoyed the relationships she made with her dedicated ski area employees and frequent customers and of course her family. She shared many hours of stories with ski area instructors and ski patrol past and present. She so loved all the kids and watching them ski, especially the ones learning for the first time.
