Curry, Gloria Jean, age 66 of Lebanon, TN, our earthly angel known as Gloria Jean Curry went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on October 11, 2019, while surrounded by her loving family.
She was joyfully met at Heavenβs Gate by her grandmother Irene Taylor, her mother, her fathers, and many aunts and uncles. She was welcomed into this life on January 6, 1953, by her parents Marilyn Taylor and Bill Preston of Galesburg, Illinois.
Bill Preston gave her three siblings Lisa Swanson, Robert and Russ Preston. Marilyn went on marrying Gerald Hodges who raised her as his own daughter. Marilyn and Gerald gave her two sisters Diane Wurzburger (Gary Brittingham) and Debra (Randy) Hroziencik. Gloria graduated from Galesburg Senior High in 1971.
Gloria was blessed to meet and marry her best friend and soulmate, Robert Curry on June 14, 1970. With her marriage to Robert Curry, her family circle grew to include her new in-laws, Kenny Curry, Sue (Kenny) Jackson, and Ronnie (Renee) Curry. The young couple began their life together in Knoxville, Illinois, and were so proud to welcome their children Christina Lynn and Michael (Tammy) Curry into this world. Gloria and Bob loved each other and being outdoors, fishing, camping, boating, snowmobiling, and hunting. Their love of the outdoors and their pioneering spirit lead them to become some of the first settler in the then new community development known as Oak Run. At Oak Run they cleared the land and built their first home along with the help of their lifelong friends Vince and Linda Knox.
Gloria worked days at Ken Company and sold Home Interior in the evenings while Bob worked at OMC and Admiral/Maytag. The couples pioneering spirit then took them to Mt. Juliet Tennessee, where they built their second house. While living in Mt. Juliet, Gloria worked at Standard Candy and then IRG.
