Peacefully, surrounded by her family, on November 28, 2020 at 94 years of age. Beloved wife of the late Thomas Echlin (2006). Cherished mother of the late Gary Echlin Sr. & wife Patty, and Lynn and husband Gilles Labelle. Loving nanny of Tommy, Rachel (Brian), Gary Jr. and Holly. Adored great-grandmother of Jessica, Jordan, Sydney, Alaina, Alaura, Brooklyn and Daniel. Dear great-great-grandmother of A.J. and Derek. Survived by her siblings: Borden (Ilee), Tona, and Kathy (Brian). Predeceased by her parents Joe and Irene MacDonald, and siblings Vera, Wilfred, Leslie and Rita. She will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and extended family members.
It brings the family great comfort in knowing that Gloria is now reunited with her best friend Noreen Van Parys, who passed away just weeks ago. Music was such an important part of Gloria’s life. She was an extremely talented and accomplished organist and vocalist.
If you so desire, donations to the Ontario Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
