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.
