Gloria Falconer of Austin, Minnesota, passed away at her home surrounded by her family on Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2014.

To say Gloria Falconer was a ‘housewife’ would be incomplete. She gave of herself on many levels, both locally and globally. Gloria’s unique personality made lifelong ties. Not only did she serve at Westminster Presbyterian Church, but in her daily life she would embody her faith. She would lend an ear, listen, give a word of encouragement when needed and added joy in life’s events.

She’ll be remembered for her coffee cakes and pecan pies as much as her down to earth common sense. To have met Gloria was to love her.

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, at Westminster Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Michael Olmsted officiating. Interment will be at Madison, Florida. Visitation will be from 4 to 6 p.m. on Friday at Clasen-Jordan Mortuary where Unity Chapter No. 29, Order of the Eastern Star will conduct an Eastern Star service at 5:30 p.m. There will also be visitation at the church on Saturday for one hour before the service.

In lieu of flowers memorials are preferred to Westminster Presbyterian Church – 802 4TH Street SW, Austin, MN 55912, or to the Romanian Orphans – NoRoc, Inc. 200 Hedges, Abilene, TX  79605.
