Gloria Irene Miller

On Saturday, August 29, 2020, Gloria Irene Miller (Borosewicz, Howard, Ginder) passed from this life to eternity. She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Helen Borosewicz; sister, Marie Biller (Borosewicz); and husband, Jess Miller. Gloria grew up on a dairy farm in Hawkins Wis. Upon graduation from Hawkins High School, she moved to Minneapolis, Minn., to attend school and met future husband, Kenneth Howard. She and Ken raised three children; however, later divorced. Gloria was a talented florist and owned the Flower Barn Flower and Gift shop with husband, Gary Ginder, in North Branch, Minn. Gloria also worked as a bank teller at First National Bank of Walker, and later owned her own insurance agency (Farm Bureau affiliate) in Longville, Minn. In 1994, Gloria relocated to Rogers, Ark., with husband, Jess Miller. Gloria continued to work in the insurance industry until her employment with CMI (Claims Management Inc.), where she later retired. Gloria held over 40 state insurance licenses. Gloria graduated from NorthWest Arkansas Community College in 2013 with her associates in General Studies degree. She was proud of that achievement as she was the first in her family to obtain a college degree. Gloria was an accomplished artist, especially in pastels of wild cats like lions, tigers, and cougars. Some of her artwork has been displayed at NWACC in various venues. Gloria used her floral arranging skills to produce hundreds of unique flower bouquets for NWACC events. These arrangements were used as decorations and door prizes and were very popular at the annual NWACC Teacher and Staff Awards sponsored by the GBP Honor Society. Marvin Galloway met Gloria at a singles dance in Springdale, Ark., 25 years ago. Their first date involved dancing and as they say, the rest was history! Dancing was their passion and they never stopped! Over the years, Gloria and Marv followed a band named Seeing Red (Terry and Lori) and the duo were nicknamed "Seeing Red Dancers". As her health declined her one goal was to dance again and she was fortunate to do that one last time a few months ago. She was so excited to be able to dance again with her "sweetie" Marv. Gloria was much loved by her family, co-workers, and friends. She will be sorely missed by her soulmate of 25 years, Marvin Galloway, and is survived by her daughter, Holly Craver Howard; sons, William Howard (Dawn) and Lance Howard (Tracy); grandchildren, Brandon and Hunter Craver, Dylan Howard, Jonathan McGuire; sisters, Jane Hruby (Larry), June Pavlik (Doug), Joan Heath (Emery); brother, Robert Borosewicz; and brother-in-law, Duane Biller. Gloria fought a 12-year-long fight with multiple myeloma. She wanted to be the one who helped find the cure! Her strength and determination were an inspiration to us all. Many thanks to Dr. Travis and his staff for the loving care they provided her at Highlands Oncology. We are also grateful for the care Gloria received while at Mercy Memorial. Memorial contributions can be made to the Mayo Clinic in Gloria's honor. A visitation for friends will be held Friday, September 25th, to celebrate Gloria's life at Stockdale-Moody Funeral Home at 2898 W Walnut Street, Rogers, Ark. from 2-7 p.m.
