Gloria Joan Smith

On Saturday, February 27th, 2021, Gloria Smith, loving mother and matriarch of her family passed to eternal peace with our Heavenly Father at the age of 79. She is preceded in death by her father and mother, Robert and Louise Pattison; sisters, Shirley Shipp and Marylou Davis; and her eldest brother, Bob Pattison. She is survived by her brother, John (Theresa) Pattison; and children, Polly, Clifford (Kim), Craig (Sheila), Andrew (Denise), Dawn (Tony); as well as 13 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and many other nieces and nephews. Gloria was a loving, high spirited, generous woman who loved to spend time with her family and friends. She was an avid Detroit Tigers fan, scrabble aficionado, and frequent bingo champion. Gloria was witty with the type of charm that could fill a room with laughter and smiles. She will be deeply and sorely missed by so, so many people.
