Gloria E. Stebbins of Cocoa, age 96, passed away on August 14, 2024. Gloria was born on July 20, 1928 in Long Island, New York. She was predeceased by John, her husband of 50 years. Gloria is survived by her sister Mildred Cournoyer; her children Sherry Daugherty, Randy and Kenneth Stebbins; her six precious grandchildren Scott and Randy Daugherty, Christopher and John Stebbins, Melissa Morgan, and Andrew Stebbins and her 7 (plus one on the way) great grandchildren John Daugherty, Blake Schmidt, Ryan and Kayla Stebbins, Molly and Nate Stebbins, Brooks Stebbins, and baby Morgan. She dearly loved her son-in-law Ray Daugherty and daughters-in-law Joan and Janet Stebbins. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were the absolute light of her life who she adored immensely.
Gloria was extremely sharp and had a knack for numbers which drove many years of an impressive career. During her 50 years in Florida, Gloria worked as Head of Management Services for Kentucky Fried Chicken of Florida, Financial Vice President of Terry Corp, and Controller of Air Compak International. After she retired from Air Compak, she became a volunteer Mediator for Brevard County Civil Mediation Program for 10 years where she was highly successful in helping many Brevard residents.
Gloria had many interests and talents that she was able to share with her family and friends. From roller-skating in her early years, to her gift for playing the piano, to traveling the world in her later years and then her famous drawings and floral arrangements…she could do it all! Above all, Gloria was beyond generous, supportive, and proud of each and every one of her family members and cherished friends.
A celebration of Gloria’s life will be on Saturday, September 21, 2024 at 1 pm at Lost Lakes Clubhouse, 140 Lost Lakes Drive, Cocoa, Florida 32926.
