Obituary of Gloria W. Pfleiger

Gloria Corinne Wasser Pfleiger of Audubon Gloria Pfleiger, 82, of Audubon, passed away on July 8, 2014, at the Meadows at Shannondell. Gloria was born in Souderton, to Erwin and Carrie Wasser, and after Carrie's early death, was raised by Erwin and Anita Wasser. Gloria lived most of her adult life in Malvern, moving 11 years ago to Shannondell at Valley Forge in Audubon. Gloria is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Terry and Craig Skouden, Lynda and Mark Moncuso, and Jeri and Brian King; her grandsons, Evan and Ross Moncuso; her sister, Barbara Voth; and her brother, Pete Wasser. She was preceded in death by her brother, Clarence Wasser. Gloria married J. Gordon Pfleiger in 1952 and passed within three months of her loving husband. Gloria worked as a Bell Telephone Co. phone operator for several years after high school and then stayed at home to care for the family for many years. She returned to work, first at National Liberty, and later at SEI Investments. Gloria loved to travel. Although partial to cruising, her sense of traveling adventure had her skiing for the first time at age 54 in the Austrian Alps, snowmobiling in Colorado in her 60s, and walking on glaciers in Alaska in her 70s. After the move to Shannondell, Gloria enjoyed learning and taking part in new activities such as bocce, billiards, water walking, and canasta. Gloria also enjoyed cross stitching, reading, exchanging e-mails with friends and family, and cheering for the Philadelphia Phillies. What those who knew Gloria will remember most about her is that even during the toughest times, Gloria continually remained upbeat and optimistic. Her kindness and positive attitude towards life was and will continue to be an inspiration for many. A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, 2014 in the small white chapel at the Paoli Presbyterian Church in Paoli. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Gloria's name to: Paoli Presbyterian Church Mission Fund (225 S. Valley Road, Paoli, PA 19301), OR The Foundation at Shannondell (a scholarship program for student employees), Shannondell at Valley Forge, 10000 Shannondell Drive, Audubon, PA 19403.
