Gloria M.
Stine
Dec 11, 1923 — Dec 10, 2016
Gloria M. Stine, 92, of West Market Street, Orwigsburg passed away Saturday, December 10th at Orwigsburg Center - Genesis Healthcare surrounded by family. Born in Orwigsburg, PA on December 11, 1923, Gloria was a daughter of the late Mabel (Heiser) and Charles Keller.
Gloria attended Orwigsburg High School and went on to teach at Ford Business School where she met and fell in love with one of her students, Howard W. Stine. She was employed by Attorney Guy Waltman and later worked as a secretary for Seltzer Insurance Company and at St. Paul's Church office.
As a faithful member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Orwigsburg, Gloria sang in the church choir for many years. She regularly played the piano, even in her latest years. Many will remember her as a very musical lady with a beautiful voice. Anyone lucky enough knew that Gloria was a terrific cook and that her baked goods, especially her apple pies, were legendary.
Gloria was predeceased by her loving husband, Howard, her parents and her brother, Robert J. (Bob) Keller.
Family meant everything to her and those she left behind will miss her dearly:
her son James B., husband of Jane Stine, of Schuylkill Haven,
her daughter, Cynthia S., wife of Lester Rhen, Jr., of Schuylkill Haven,
her son Martin D., husband of Jacqueline Stine, of Landingville,
her son Thomas E., husband of Lenore Stine, of Bethlehem,
her 5 grandchildren (Tanya, Heidi, Danielle, Erica and Elyssa), 6 great grandchildren (Taylor, Abigail, Joseph, Keenan, Nico and Yannick) and nieces and nephews.
Gloria is also survived by her sister-in-law, Almeda (Dolly) Keller, of Orwigsburg.
