GLORIA JUNE PRICE
June 25, 1926 - March 3, 2018
Gloria M. Price, age 91, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, May 3, 2018, at the Indian River Medical Center in Vero Beach, Florida. She was born on June 25, 1926, in Gainesville, Florida to Jennings Oliver (J.O.) and Addie (McDavid) Malphurs. She grew up in Waldo, Florida, a small town near Gainesville and was the youngest of four children. She is survived by one sibling, sister Clarice Windham of Leesburg, Florida.
She obtained a degree as a Registered Nurse (RN) during the mid-1940's from a nursing school located in Jacksonville, Florida. She married William Robert (Bob) Price, Sr. on June 6, 1948 in St. Augustine, Florida. Bob and Gloria lived in Gainesville for a few years while he was in the process of obtaining his degree in Pharmacy from the University of Florida.
Starting in 1949, she began raising a family and had 3 children: William (Robert) Price, Jr., Kenneth E. Price, and Holly F. Price. After living in Gainesville, the family moved to Miami, Fort Pierce, and Eustis for a few years before settling in Vero Beach during the 1950's (where husband Bob was born). Gloria retired from practicing nursing sometime in the early-1960's while she was in her mid-30's.
Throughout much of her life, she liked to spend time decorating her home, shopping for antiques, cooking, boating, traveling, and visiting with friends and family. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Vero Beach and the Vero Beach Garden Club for many years. Over the past 20 years or so, she enjoyed playing bridge, dancing, going to the theater, spending time with her friends at the retirement community where she lived and with her close companion Charles McKenzie, and visiting with her children. Gloria was a dear, sweet soul.
She was preceded in death by her father J.O. Malphurs, mother Addie (McDavid) Malphurs, son Kenny in 1990, and husband Bob in 1991. She is survived by her eldest son Robert Price, Jr., DDS of Vero Beach and her daughter Holly Price of Port St. Lucie.
