Gloria D. Goodpaster, nee Seghetti, born January 16, 1929 in Spokane, WA, passed away at home January 19, just in time to avoid a Trump presidency. Graduated from Holy Names Academy and NSU with a master's in education, Gloria spent much of her life improving the reading skills of countless students whether in the classroom or as the Reading Specialist for TPS. She is survived by a sister, Marlene Gurdin of Beverly Hills, CA; by two children from her marriage to Charles Goodpaster: Julie Collins Pearson of Tiburon, CA, and Scott Goodpaster of Tulsa; and two grandchildren, Holly Pearson of Sacramento, CA and Sean Pearson of New York, NY.
Gloria spent many of the best years of her life with Harold Gimlin and will be fondly remembered by his children: Curtis Gimlin (Carol) and Leslie Day (Pat) and by his grandchildren, Daniel and Mathew Gimlin. Gloria traveled most of the globe, much of it happily at Harold's side.
An avid bridge player, a dedicated volunteer for nearly fifty years, a stylish dresser who was never without a hundred pairs of shoes, she smiled through her troubles, became stronger with each challenge and found bravery to face every obstacle. An iron lady with a tender heart, the light by which she read the book of life has gone out because there is a new dawn.
We hope when she rises she can find size 8 AAA's.

Service will be held 1:00 P.M., Saturday, January 28, 2017 at Church of the Madalene, 22nd & Harvard.
