Gloria received her education from Glenville high school where she was well liked and admired. She attended Mount Olivet Baptist Church and was sure to never miss a service.

Gloria loved to work. Her passion was caring for others that weren't able to care for themselves. She was very family oriented and wanted nothing more but to see all her family together. In 1967, Gloria met and found love with James Jackson Sr, and two years later they joined in holy matrimony. To this union four children were created, Regina Jackson, James Jackson known as "June", Crystal Jackson, and Anthony Jackson.
