After retiring from nursing, she was an avid golfer, first as a member at Summit Springs Golf Course and then later as a member at Turner Highlands when it opened.

Gloria and Quent enjoyed many years watching their grandsons play sports, which even meant going with the hockey teams as far as Chicago, Illinois and Coral Springs, Florida. While in Chicago, they celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary with the hockey team. She and Quent enjoyed camping when the family was growing up and had a special group of friends that were together at campgrounds weekends during the summer.

Gloria had a special group of friends who went for day trips throughout the years. It was mentioned that food was always involved so they named themselves The Piggly Wiggly Club.

She and Quent travelled to Hawaii, Alaska, the Grand Canyon, Bronson, Missouri and the west coast from California to Washington.
