Gloria M. Long Van Zandt

February 5, 2013

Gloria M. Long Van Zandt, 74, of Pensacola, joined God in Heaven on Thursday, January 31, 2013.

A loving mother, and friend, Gloria was born February 25, 1938, in Century. She devoted her life to her parents, her children, and being a Marine aviator’s wife. As a grandmother she became known as “Glo Glo” for the passion in life and positive outlook she held dear at all times.

Glo Glo is survived by her daughter and best friend, Brenda Van Zandt; her son, Michael Van Zandt and his wife Kristi; two grandchildren, Brittany and Kaitlin Van Zandt; and two great-grandchildren, Halo and Amari.

Visitation will be held from 9 a.m. until funeral services at 10 a.m. on Thursday, February 7,2013, at NAS Pensacola’s All Faiths Chapel. She will be laid to rest at Barrancas National Cemetery.

The family would like to give utmost thanks to the very special people that made sure Glo was just another one of the girls at HCP; we know her little talks and daily laughs are missed by all.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the National MS Society.

Trahan Family Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

    Brenda, I know you are hurting. I am sorry I did not see this notice sooner. Be strong and find solace in your great many stories you can share about time with your mom.
