December 26, 2020
Gloria Ferres, age 88, of Wakeman, passed away early Saturday morning, December 26, 2020 at The Commons of Providence Memory Care from complications of Covid-19.
Gloria was born August 2, 1932 in Norwalk to the late Robert and Esther Fisher. She graduated from Norwalk High School in 1950 and met her husband, Ike Ferres, who she married in May of 1954 in Norwalk. They lived in Wakeman for over 50 years. Gloria worked at the Norwalk Furniture Company in the Payroll Department for 27 years, becoming an Assistant Supervisor. She witnessed many changes in her department staring with crank adding machines, to the electronic calculator and computers. She loved going to work and the people she worked with became her second family. Gloria retired in 1995, and spent time traveling with her husband, Ike to all but two of the 50-states, enjoying different parts of the country and each other.
Gloria was a hard worker who valued her family, friendships and faith. She was a member of St. Mary’s in Norwalk, where she enjoyed being a member of the Altar and Rosary Society. She was an avid reader belonging to several book clubs. One of her greatest joys was her grandchildren. She loved sharing stories with them from her past.
Gloria is survived by her son, Donald Ferres of Vermilion; daughter, Lila Ferres of Huron; three grandchildren, Rebecca Ferres of Troy, NY, Terra Ferres of Colorado and Andrew Lewis of Hilliard, OH; brother-in-law, William Ferres of Monroeville; and her sister-in-law, Louise Ferres of Clarkrange, TN.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Ike; brother, Joseph Fisher; and sister, Lila Wallenstein
There are no calling hours. A graveside service will be held 2:00 P.M. Tuesday, December 29, 2020 at St. Mary Catholic Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to the Evans Funeral Home, 314 E. Main Street, Norwalk.
Memorial contributions can be made to Stein Hospice in Sandusky, The Wakeman Public Library or St. Mary Catholic Church in Wakeman.
