It is with great sadness that the Ladies of Charity, Archdiocese of Washington DC inform us of the passing of Ms. Gloria Rose. She went home to be with the Father in Heaven on Friday, October 8, 2021. Gloria was a very active and dedicated member of the St. Margaret of Scotland Ladies of Charity for many years. She not only served as the President, but was very instrumental in forming the Junior Ladies of Charity there as well.
Gloria was a member of the LOC for over thirty years serving at the Parish, County, Archdiocesan and LCUSA Regional levels of the association. She served as the Middle Atlantic Regional Representative in the early 1990’s. More recently, she served on the ADW Board of Directors for nearly two decades as the Co-Moderator for the JLOC and ADW Archivist. Her service in helping those less fortunate was second to none. Gloria will be missed, but never forgotten.

Our great loss is heaven’s blessing. Gloria, you were the quintessential Lady of Charity and blessed the lives of all those you so generously served. You will be missed greatly by so many; especially by this friend from way out West. Always on my heart!
RIP, Gloria. You were a wonderful lady & a great friend. We had some precious time together during our LCUSA conferences. You will truly be missed by many.
Gloria was an exemplary Lady of Charity. It was a pleasure to work with her and to learn from her. She will be missed.
I always enjoyed being with Gloria: she uplifted ones spirits and was very easy to work with. Rest in Peace!
My dearest Gloria. You were one of the best LOC, ever. We will certainly miss your smile and your eternal kindness. Our love for those in need and our work put us together. Thanks to God I got to meet you! Rest in Peace!
What a loss for us but a wonderful addition to the Heavenly Kingdom! We who shared the journey with Gloria are truly blessed to have known her, laughed with her and been inspired by her. Whenever we spoke, she would remind me of the picture she kept on her desk taken during the 2007 National Assembly here in St. Louis. A picture of herself, my mom, Alma and I which was taken after a Cardinal’s game at Busch Stadium. . Thank you for just being yourself, sharing your magnificent smile and being part of my life!
