Dallas - Gloria Presnall was born February 5, 1924 in San Francisco, California to Francisco and Manuela Barreto. She passed away in her home in Dallas, Oregon on October 18, 2012 at the age of 88.
When Gloria was a young girl, her parents died, and she and one sister went into foster care until she moved to Redwood City, California and rejoined her 7 siblings. There, she attended Sequoia High School. She later took a job at the Presidio Commissary.
On November 22, 1950, Gloria married Harris L. Presnall. They moved to northern California, where she worked for Masonite Corporation. In 1973, she and her family moved to Winnfield, LA where they purchased a store and gas station. In 1979, she began working for Wal-Mart Corporation. She worked in both Louisiana and California and retired after 20 years.
Gloria was an avid bowler. She played on several leagues and competed in many senior tournaments. She continued bowling until the age of 86. She took up golfing in California before moving to Oregon, where she loved to share a round of golf with her brother Tom. Her other favorite pastime was to watch the Seattle Mariners each season. She loved all sports, from tennis to football.
Gloria is survived by her children, Barry Presnall of Oregon City, OR; Darryl Presnall of Las Vegas, NV; Priscilla Kennon of Monmouth, OR; and Lisa Irby of Jonesboro, AR; her sister Stella Barreto of Dallas, OR; 14 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
