__________

Gloria Vann died in her sleep in Los Angeles on August 2 at the age of 92. Gloria loved bridge (amassing over 4000 masterpoints), tennis, and travel. She was also a lifelong member of Hadassah and a Temple Israel congregant. Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, she taught elementary school and then owned a small gift shop. In 2001, she and Donald, her husband of 69 years, changed their snowbird status in Palm Desert to full time residency. Gloria lost Donald and one son but is survived by a daughter and son, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. We send our sympathy to her family and friends.
