Gloria Marie (Schuberth) Fletcher, 85, of Bolton passed away at St. Francis Hospital on Thursday February 17, 2022. The daughter of the late Charles and Roseann Schuberth, she was born March 11, 1936, in Hartford, CT. Gloria was predeceased by her beloved husband Jack R. Fletcher, brothers Charles and Raymond Schuberth, grandchildren Mason James and Alec Clayton. Gloria was raised and educated in Hartford. She later earned an accounting degree and was employed at G. Fox & Co., and later at Stop & Shop, in Manchester, where she made many lifelong friends. Gloria was an active communicant at St. Maurice Catholic church and just loved assisting in running the church bingo games. She also enjoyed luncheons and playing Mexican dominos at the Bolton Senior Center. Gloria loved to travel to tropical places. She frequented Aruba, Bermuda, and the Bahamas with family, for many memorable adventures. Other excursions included trips to local casinos with loved ones. She had a love for the ocean, swimming and just soaking up the sun with walks on the beach.
She was a lifelong cat lover, and she also took great joy in feeding and watching her backyard feathered friends. But her greatest love has always been family. Wonderful times were spent out at “the country”, playing cards, singing, parades and making merry. Her parent’s home on Nile Street was the hub of the
family gatherings-where all the magic happened, and great memories were made. The bond with her sisters was unbreakable, whether they were sitting together with a cup of tea, or chit chatting on the phone. With the many challenges and hardships, she faced throughout her life, she fought back to raise five strong daughters, she dearly loved, and who will forever be influenced by the woman she was. Each daughter different, but each possessing traits of the mother they loved so much. Gloria is survived by all her daughters, Doreen McIntyre of Manchester, Deborah Everett and Paul Flaherty of Bloomfield, Susan Hutz of Montana, Leslie Weerden of Manchester, and Dawn Howe of Mystic. Her Grandchildren, Devon McIntyre and Lyndsay Bissette, Molly McIntyre, Sean Kraut, Kristen Hutz, Nicole and Eric Kloehn, Jenna Weerden, Patrick and Crystal Weerden, Tyler Weerden, Aidan Violette, Madison Violette, Nicholas Dougan and Riley Howe. Greatgrandchildren Avory Vitiello, River Pacitto, Anthony Uriano, Gavin Lavigne, Greyson Weerden, Brooklyn and Kennedy Kloehn, and Drew and Brady Weerden.
She will be greatly missed by her siblings, Mary Haley, Anita and Dick Sullivan, Rosaleen O’Brien, Dennis and Jennifer Schuberth, Kathleen Kapji and also many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
Calling hours will be Wed. Feb 23rd 2-4 and 5-7 pm at Holmes Watkins Funeral Home 400 Main Street, Manchester, CT. A Mass celebrating her life will be held Thurs. Feb 24th 11 am at St. Maurice Catholic Church, 32 Hebron Rd. Bolton, CT 06043.
