Gloria Z. (Fletcher) Sublet, 85, passed away March 14, 2022, in Magnolia, Texas, after a brief battle with cancer. She was surrounded by love at the time she passed.

Gloria was born February 27, 1937, in Georgetown, Texas, to Willard L. Fletcher and Ola (Kimbro) Mae.

They lived in Yamhill for more than 40 years, and then moved to McMinnville in 2012.

Gloria was an independent soul who enjoyed traveling, gardening, cooking, canning, baking and volunteering her time. She was always fascinated with observing birds and had a deep affection for learning about nature. Everyone who knew Gloria was blessed. Gloria was a loving, caring, honest and funny person.
