Gloria loved to play softball in school and adult leagues. She also enjoyed going on trips with the Senior Citizens groups she belonged to in Maine and Florida, as well as playing bingo.  Gloria was a proud member of the American Legion Aux. She also was the founder of the Gloria C. MacKenzie Foundation.  She truly enjoyed the work of the foundation and the distribution of the grants annually to deserving communities throughout Northern Maine.

Gloria thoroughly enjoyed being a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.  She especially enjoyed summers in Maine when the grandchildren were out of school and visiting.  She really enjoyed the births of her great grandchildren.  Pictures were a must.  She liked knitting slippers and crocheting blankets for all the kids.  She also loved camping and traveling the states with the family.
