Gloria Collins

Gloria Collins was the first child born in the U.S.A of the Lewis family, immigrants from the small country of Wales. Gloria, at the age of 18, married S/Sgt. George P. Collins, her high school sweetheart who had just returned from flying 25 missions over Europe during World War 2. They settled down to raise six children — 3 boys and 3 girls — while living a military life.

After retirement, Gloria and George, with the youngest two children, moved to a small town in Delaware. Although she currently resides with her youngest daughter, Linda, and her kids, her heart will always be with all her family, no matter where they are. This is the story of a strong, loving woman whose love is endless.

Gloria loves to paint acrylic paintings of her grandchildren, garden scenes, and seascapes. She also paints ceramics. She keeps busy and fit by tidying the house and the yard. She remains devoted to her children and grandchildren.
