Gloria loved to entertain, cook, and decorate and was very talented at all of these. Gary and Gloria spent 29 consecutive winters vacationing in Mexico. She felt very fortunate to have all of her children and grandchildren living in Fargo so she was able to spend a lot of time with all of them. She will truly be missed by her family and Friday night friends at the Speedway Restaurant and Saturday night friends at the Bowler.

She is survived by her husband Gary Annear, daughters Pam Annear, Debbie (Daryl) Helbling, and son Jim Annear. Grandchildren, Nick (Brie) and Mitch (Kayla) Taralson, Nykki Helbling, and Riley Annear.
