Gloria Sloan Obituary

A wonderful person and one of the greatest mother-in-law you’ll ever find God bless her

LuAnn, Laurie and Leah,
Until today I didn't not know your mother had passed aways. I am so sad to learn this! What a wonderful vibrant woman she was! I am forever thankful that she was a part of Laura's life and taught her her first dance steps. And now to learn that your aunt has died is truly sad. They were quite a duo!
Francine Sadowski

Laurie, LuAnn & Leah,
Your mom, Gloria, was a mother to us all. As our dance teacher, she was loving, inspiring, gentle and willing to help any student that had the benefit of her teaching. The "Conway Sisters" created a world class dance facility and ran it with style and grace.
I will be forever grateful for the many lessons...
With loving memories of your mom,
Kimberly Bonneau

LuAnn, Alana & Family --please accept our sincere condolences. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of farewell. May your faith sustain you and your many memories bring healing. The McBride Family

LuAnn, Laurie, and Leah, I am sorry to read about your mom's passing. It brought back great memories of tap dancing at Forts Ferry Elementary with her. May all the wonderful memories of your mom help you in this time of sadness.

Miss Luann and Alanna,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. We are praying for your family to get through this very difficult time. Gloria was very dedicated to dance and her enthusiasm would shine through every week when she watched all the children walk through those doors. She will be deeply missed.
Amy, Peter, Madalynn and Abigail Walsh

To The Sloan Family,
I remember your mom from being in her dance class all through grammar school. That was the 1960's and all the recital's at the end of the season. What great memories!! She sure was a special lady and I will always remember her. God Bless.

Dear Luann, Laurie and Leah,
My deepest sympathy for your loss of your Mom. She was a wonderful lady, so sweet and fun to be around. She just loved all of her dancers and they loved her. She was such a big part of Michelle's growing up that we always think of Gloria when we remember her younger days. No one could tap like Gloria and I am sure that she is doing the "Bill Robinson tap" in heaven.
Carole Rainville

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to all of Gloria's family. She was a wonderful teacher who loved what she did and it made a difference in my childhood. I will never forget Conway Dance Studio and all of the cherished memories I have. Now she is one of the angels.

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of your Mom. Patty and Lynne loved dance because of her. I will never forget your kindness after Lynne's death. Your remembrance of her helped to keep her spirit alive. God Bless you all. Love

Dear Luann, Laurie & Leah,
I am sitting here thinking not only about your Mom but, also all of you & the wonderful experience & fun that I had learning from your Mom (and you, too, Luann). Her success as a dancer is surpassed only by the kindness, encouragement, enthusiasm & love with which she taught "......the only art wherein we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made."......DANCE.

Dear Luann, Laurie and Leah,
Your mother was my dance teacher, neighbor and mentor. She and your Aunt Jane, played a large part in my growing up years, from Forts Ferry Elementary Shcool to Shaker High. Through them, dance became a central part of my life. As a result of their influence, my own daughers are dancers with dance studios of their own. I will always remember your mother fondly and am so very sorry to hear of her passing. Jeanne Russell Franklin

To LuAnn and all family members, I took dance classes with "Miss Conway," as a Southgate student from 1966 through 1970. I will always remember her fondly. She was everything a dance teacher should be: talented, kind, patient, and creative. Her costumes and dance moves were the best! She helped me do well in a few talent shows and was always encouraging and cheerful. What a thrill it was for me to reconnect with her 40 years later through my adult ballet classes with LuAnn. Gloria was as charming as ever, and we had a lovely "reunion." I suspect Gloria will live on through her wonderful family and dance studio. I send you all my deepest symapthies for this great loss.

Sincerely,
Donna Lamkin

Sorry to hear of your moms passing. Glora was our Sunshine Gal for Our Lady of Fatima Altar & Rosary Society. No one could fill that position better then she could. Whenever I spoke with her she was always so joyful and upbeat, she will be missed greatly.

To Gloria's family; it wasn't that long ago when I was thinking about Gloria & Jane. I took dance lessons from them from the age of 5 all the way through highschool. Dance was a huge part of my life and both Gloria and Jane made it fun and interesting. I have so many great memories of the recitals and going to NYC to dance with the Rockettes. What a wonderful lady she was.

So sorry to hear of Miss Gloria's passing. I am sitting here with a smile on my face thinking of all the wonderful years at the dance studio. Luann, Laurie, and Leah, I hope you find comfort in all of the memories of your mom, and the amazing woman she was. Truly an icon!

Luann, Laurie, Keith and Leah,
My thoughts and prayers to the entire family at this time. Sorry to hear about your moms passing.
With Sympathy,
Lynne Campagna Bourne

Miss Gloria was my first introduction into the world of dance and her grace and elegance made a lasting impression on me. Leah, Luann and Laurie- please know that many of the young ladies you and your mom have inspired are thinking of you at this difficult time.

May God be with you in your time of sorrow.

Sincerely,
Cindy Florence

To Gloria's Family,

Your mother touched our hearts with her smile and kindness from the 1st day Catherine, our daughter started dance classes at Conway. She was so full of life and always there to help and encourage the kids. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May God Bless you all, and continue to give you lots of strength, hope, faith and love.

Love,

My heart goes out to the entire family. From dancing together at Forts Ferry all the way through high school and then my daughter going to your studio much later ... you have all been a wonderful part of my life. Your Mom will always be remembered with love and a warm smile. God Bless. Sharon Boswell Ray

We all loved you Gloria...I'm so happy Lincoln and Jenna had the time they did with you. Nobody ever had a bad thing to say about you. You were an angel on earth, and now an angel in heaven. God Bless your heart. My love goes out to the whole family...

Miss Gloria was such an exceptional link to our regions place in dance performances. I always admired the experiences that she had and was thankful that she started a studio in my hometown that taught me the art of performing. Laurie, Luanne, and Leah my thoughts and prayers are with your families in this difficult time. Much love to you all.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Leah and Lauren and the whole family. Gloria was such a fun person and will be greatly missed. God Bless you all.

Mrs.Sloan was my first dance teacher when lessons first started many years ago at Forts Ferry School. She was a kind and fun teacher. May she be your angel in heaven,

Luann,Laurie and Leah and your families- my prayers are with you at this time as your mom as passed. Many wonderful years of dance lessons (with your counsin Dawn) come to mind. She was a wonderful,gentle and strong woman.
