Gloria married Ronald Hoehn at St. Paul Evangelical Free Church in Petersburg, IL in 1990. She ultimately retired from the Illinois Bell Telephone Company in the accounting department, then went on to work for many years as a Medical Transcriptionist at Springfield Memorial Hospital. Gloria is survived by her loving husband of over 30 years, Ron Hoehn; children, Jennifer (Gary) Newell of Riverton, IL, Jeff (Cassie) Langley of Athens, IL, and Dennis Hoehn of Edwardsville, IL; grandchildren, Brent Langley and Brad Langley of Athens, IL, Garrett (Kristen) Newell of Riverton, IL, Lindsey Hoehn of Roxana, IL; a great-grandchild, Trent Newell; brothers, Mike (Patty) Ed of Key Largo, FL, and Mark (Georgia) Ed of Petersburg, IL; sister-in-law, Marilyn (Bob) Snell of Staunton, IL, several nieces and nephews; and last, but not least, her cat Wylie of Springfield, IL, who provided a special kind of comfort only he could have provided during her brave battle against cancer. She was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Eileen Ed. Bowling had a special place in her heart as she wore many hats while active in that world. She was inducted in the Bowling Hall of Fame, coached many bowlers, won many tournaments, and was the secretary for several leagues for many years, where she was responsible for tracking team performance, scores, distributing patches, and keeping the many facets of the bowling world organized amongst the league. Gloria enjoyed riding around in their Corvette and were avid members of both the Central Illinois Corvette Club (CICC) and the Cool Cruisers Club. She had a penchant for education and adored academia. She would exercise this belief regularly as she went back to school on multiple occasions, resulting several degrees.
