Lovingly, we, her children and five grandchildren?Pamela (John) McNamara, Gregory Ring, Douglas (Becca), Janice (Joshua), Gordon (Samantha), Alan (Mindy) and Debra?announce that Mrs. Gloria L Ring entered heaven on January 31, 2021 and was reunited with her husband of 51 years, Robert. Though diminished by dementia, she remained friendly, happy and retained her sense of humor and her love of the Lord Jesus Christ, singing hymns of faith to the end. Born September 29, 1930 in L'Anse, Michigan (the U P), she scoffed at WNY winters, and said even Massachusetts was snowier. Early in her first-grade teaching career she spent two years in Germany, and loved to tell of her European and Middle Eastern trips. Widowed, Gloria relocated to Holland, NY from Greenfield, MA to be near family. Scrabble, Bananagrams, the daily Commuter puzzle and especially many, many books of crossword puzzles were the passion of her last ten years. Until her last weeks, she was a daily presence at our dinner table and in our lives. She is also survived by two of her five sisters, Carol and Barbara, many nieces and nephews, and one great granddaughter. A memorial service will be held at the convenience of the family.
