Gloria G. Grover

Gloria G. Grover, 76, Woodstock, died Friday, May 25, 2012, at Centegra Hospital-Woodstock.

She was born July 11, 1935, in Dundee, to John and Louise (Boncosky) Grace.

She loved sports, especially college basketball, and her favorite team was the Indiana Hoosiers.  She was known as the “Queen of the NCAA Pool” every March. She loved to attend her husband’s, children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events.

She looked forward to her trips to Las Vegas and occasional outings on the river boats.

Her thoughts were always with her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; and a brother, Arnold.

A gathering for friends and family and the memorial service were held May 30 at Schneider-Leucht-Merwin & Cooney Funeral Home, Woodstock.
