Together they raised five children: Melanie (Chris) Farnsworth, Lauralyn (Marc) Salinas, David (Meggin) Mann, Darin (Ali) Mann and Michelle (Josh) Walker. Gloria had a lifelong love for education. Whether it was teaching in school, piano lessons in her home, early morning seminary or wonderful gospel lessons on Sunday, she was passionate about sharing her knowledge with others. Gloria was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She enjoyed many callings in the Primary, Young Women and Relief Society and touched the lives of several along the way. She also loved her time spent working in the Boise Idaho LDS Temple.
