Gloria Hazel Oliver

January 8, 1923 — January 12, 2016

Gloria Hazel Oliver, 93, of Bethlehem, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, January 12, 2016. She was born January 8, 1923 in Bethlehem, daughter of the late James and Isabel (Henson) Clark.

Gloria worked as a sewing machine operator for South Manufacturing Co. and retired after 23 years of service. She had a passion for reading books and upon her retirement worked as a librarian aide for 22 years at the Bethlehem Public Library. She was a member of St. Paul Baptist Church in Bethlehem. She will be lovingly remembered for her work ethic, enjoyment of bebop jazz, but most especially for her love of family.

Gloria will be dearly missed by her children, Sherry Lupton of Lancaster, PA and Dean Oliver and his wife, Melissa of Bethlehem Twp. She was also the loving Mom-Mom to her five grandchildren, and great granddaughter. Gloria was preceded in death by her son-in-law, Kevin Lupton; brother, Harold Henson; and sister, Elizabeth “Sibby” Medley.
