Gloria Jean M Bergey

Gloria Jean M. Bergey, born July 26, 1941, passed away peacefully in her home on June 24, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. Her life of eighty-four years was marked by a steadfast commitment to family, community, and kindness.

Gloria was a proud graduate of Roxborough High School, and soon after embarked on a career marked by dedication and service through her work with the Muhlenberg School District. She began as the welcoming “Playground Lady” at the elementary school, always looking out for the children in her care. Her journey continued as she transitioned into the role of secretary, and then into the guidance office at the Junior High, where her caring nature and willingness to help were apparent to all who had the pleasure of working alongside her. Gloria spent time in nearly every building in the district, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and diligence.

Beyond her professional contributions, Gloria was a longtime Girl Scout Leader, guiding not only her own daughters but continuing her leadership and mentorship well after they had moved on. She took great joy in supporting young girls and fostering a spirit of service and friendship in her troop.

Family was always at the center of Gloria’s heart. She was a devoted wife of 66 years to Carl G. Bergey, her loving husband, and a cherished mother to Denise E. Kramer, wife of Mark J., and Bonnie L. Tobin, wife of Toby M.. She was immensely proud of her grandchildren—Stephanie N. Kramer, PhD, wife of Brandon J. Lali, Matthew J. Kramer, and Caela A. Tobin—and took every opportunity to share in their lives and milestones. She shared a close bond with her sister, Kathleen E. Fridy.

Gloria’s warmth and generosity extended beyond her immediate family. She was always ready to help those around her, sharing her kindness and generosity wherever she saw a need. Her legacy is felt not only in her family but also throughout her community.

She is preceded in death by her parents William and Virginia (Guidici) Fawcett, whose memories she carried with her throughout her life.
