She later joined and was baptized as Gethsemane Baptist Church, under the leadership of the late Pastor Willie Davis Jr. Most recently becoming a member of Romulus Community Baptist Church under Pastor Hiram McBurrows. Gloria enjoyed fishing, sports (mainly basketball), doing crossword puzzles, cooking her favorite meals and being mom to all of the friends that Rufus could find.
