Gloria was born March 15, 1931, in Spirit Lake, Iowa, the daughter of Conrad Axel and Judith Pauline (Lindquist) Swanson. On June 23, 1949, she married the love of her life, James E. DeLashmutt.
Gloria worked for the Davenport Public Schools as an ESL Associate, retiring in 1996. She was an active member of Holy Family Catholic Church. Gloria was a valued volunteer and an avid mall walker, enjoying coffee and conversation with friends after.
Luncheons with the Class of ’49 in Burlington were a monthly highlight. Above all, she cherished time spent with family, especially her grandchildren. And she loved turtle sundaes from Whitey’s.
Gloria was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Donald and Everett; sisters, Helen, Marion, Ruth, Judith, Doris, Evangeline, and Bonnie; and her best friend since 3rd grade, Janet Payne.
