Gloria J. Stotesbery

Gloria (Stich) Stotesbery passed away March 13, 2026, in Cornell WI, her loving husband of 66 years, Wayne, at her side.

Born October 5, 1939 to Veryl and Lydia Stich, she grew up in Stitzer, WI, graduating from Lancaster HS and attending University of Platteville before her marriage to Wayne at Mt. Home AF Base, ID.

After Wayne's AF Retirement in 1982, they moved to Eau Claire, working and gathering loving friends through their many interests, especially their antique tractor clubs. In 2022 they moved to Cornell Health Services and have been lovingly cared for there until her passing.
