Gloria J. Zieve

February 25th, 2024

We met Glor when moved to Chantilly in 2005. She lent me towel at our pool in the Townehomes. After that, she invited me into her her lovely home and the relationship blossomed to include my husband and her niece, Char Wecker, who visited her from California on a regular basis. We would regularly work out at the pool, celebrate our birthdays at a Mexican restaurant, visit the nearby Chicago Botanic Garden, and drive to many art galleries in the area. And we would walk and talk!

Sally: I never thought about losing her. She was just too precious. Lately, when I drive through Chantilly, or just about anytime I think about her, I have to cry because I miss her so much. I’m sure so many feel that way because she had space in her heart for everybody.

Gloria always amazed me by her abundance of love radiating from her. She accepted everyone and seemed to care for all with real sincerity. I can only hope to learn from her beautiful example how to embrace life, beauty and humanity.
I’ll miss you Gloria.

I am not even sure where to start here as Gloria Zieve was to me my second Mom growing up. Always present with a smile, making me and my friends welcome at Jons house at “612”. She hosted me in 2015 during my high school reunion, always putting out a platter of food. “Eat, Meyer”, she would tell me. My last encounter with her was at Jon and Janets wedding in 2019. We danced together and I just relished that moment. She led a “Glor-ious” life indeed! My heartfelt condolences to Jon, Michael, and David and the entire Zieve clan. May Glorias memory always be of blessing.

I will remember Gloria for her extraordinary grace and beauty. She had an immeasurable zest for life which was wildly contagious. Her wicked wit and wisdom is worthy of emulating. She remains relevant and I miss her already.
