Gloria Jean Framel

October 6, 1935 - March 27, 2022

Our beloved Gloria Jean Framel passed away peacefully, with her three children by her side, on March 27, 2022, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She was born on October 6, 1935, in the small town of Phillips, Oklahoma, to Arthur Byrd Jones and Edith Josephine Jones (Flaim). Gloria attended Coalgate schools and later graduated from Eastern College in Wilburton, Oklahoma with an associates degree. Along the way, she appeared in numerous beauty pageants, including Miss Oklahoma, and was an accomplished operatic singer. Her work background prior to marriage included time spent at Sinclair Oil. In her later years she owned a business and eventually retired in sales from J.C. Penney. She loved to paint, read, garden, sing in the Catholic church choir, and care for her family. Gloria was someone who appreciated life and exemplified kindness. She saw the best in everyone and gave of herself in every situation. Her quick smile and laugh will be remembered by all who knew her. She is survived by her loving family: her three children - David Framel, and his wife Trish; Nicholas Framel, and his wife Tami; and Kristy Framel; grandchildren Brandon Framel, and his wife Sara; Brit Framel, and his wife Bevon, and Brooke Kelly; great-grandchildren Hope, Zach, Greyson, Sawyer, Hayes, Jack, and Whitten; and many nephews and nieces. She is preceded in death by her husband Frank Eugene (Gene) Framel, brother Donald Jones, and sister JoAnn Culver. A viewing will be held on Thursday, March 31, from 5pm-7pm at Moore Funeral Home - Southlawn Chapel. The funeral will be held on Friday, April 1, at 10:00am at St. Pius X Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to St. Pius X Church.
