Memorials: Anyone wishing to honor the life of Gloria Whitley should simply perform a simple act of kindness for someone in need. (Bonus points if it’s for an elderly person.) For those desiring to do even more, the family suggests that memorials be made in her name to the Hood County Committee on Aging or the Granbury Church of Christ Mission Fund.
A Hood county resident for most of her life, a member of the Granbury Church of Christ for over 60 years, and a pillar of the Granbury community, Gloria’s primary vocation was that of helping others. After raising her first generation of children, she became one of the earliest employees of Hood General Hospital (now Lake Granbury Medical Center). Her almost two decades of service there included roles as personnel director, interim administrator, and the hospital’s first patient representative. In the 1990s, she retired briefly and then began some of the most important work of her life
