Greenwood, Delaware – Gloria Myers, 77, of Greenwood, peacefully passed away on Dec. 5, 2022 surrounded by her loved ones at home. She was the only child to the late Harry and Gloria Burgio.

She was raised in the Bronx, but moved to Delaware in her late teenage years where she met her husband of 56 years, Bobby Myers. They bought a beautiful farm where they raised their 3 children. They had a big, successful stable of Standardbred horses, racing up and down the Eastern Shore.

She was thought of as a mother to a lot of people. Gloria was the “fun” mom and the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back. She enjoyed going to the races, playing the slots, and spending as much time with her family as she could. Her favorite holiday was Christmas, where she would go above and beyond for everyone in the family. Gloria was a member of the Delaware Standardbred Owners Association and the United States Trotting Association.

In addition to her parents, Gloria is preceded in death by her son, Robert “Boo” Myers, Jr. and her aunt, Marie C. Burgio, sister-in-law Marlene Larrimore, brother-in-law Robert Larrimore, and niece Sandy Dukes and nephew Ricky Brown.  

Gloria is survived by her loving husband, Robert Myers, Sr.: daughters Sheila Daugherty and Robin Callahan (Kimothy Vincent): Daughter-in-law, Shannon Myers, grandchildren: Dawn Richards (Robert), Amber Tucker (Jeromy), Courtney Mitchell, Megan Carlisle (Ricky) and Macey Myers, great-grandchildren: R.J. and Carson Richards, Jonathan and Gracelyn Tucker, Andrew and Cameron Mitchell; sister-in law, Janice Agan: nieces, nephews and many friends.

The family is very grateful for all of the care and support given to Gloria by her caretakers, Bobbie Jo Scott and Bubba Perrigan.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: AccentCare Hospice, 220 Continental Dr. Newark, DE 19713.

A service will be held privately.

Born in the Bronx, NY on November 5, 1925, he was the son of the late Theodore Mangold Young and Alma Moersch Young.

He was predeceased by his wife, Edna M. Young, his brother Richard Young and wife Kay, his sister-in-law Doris Wondrasch and husband William along with his brother-in-law William Brereton and wife Doris.

Theodore married Edna Brereton at St. Ann’s Church, the Bronx, on Sept. 2, 1951. They were married for 46 years until her passing in 1998. Together they had a wonderful life raising their two children and spending time with their family and friends in the Bronx while enjoying summers at the Jersey shore. Theodore then spent 10 years with Doris Brereton until her passing in 2010 and they enjoyed many winters in Florida.

Accomplishments

Theodore P Young was drafted in the US Army during World War II and served in Europe with the 42^nd Rainbow Division. After his return from the Army he worked for AMOCO in NYC beginning in the mailroom and eventually working in the Purchasing Department. While busy working and raising a family he attended New York University at night, receiving his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration graduating Cum Laude. This is one of his proudest accomplishments! He then worked for many years as Manager of Purchasing for Gibbs & Hill and upon retirement became a consultant to KEPCO for several years until he permanently retired. He and Edna moved to Queensbury to be closer to their daughter and family.

As a member of the Inwood Canoe Club, he enjoyed watching his son canoe, often trailering canoes around the country to many races where he worked as an official. Always one to stay active and involved, he became president of the Westwood Homeowners Association, and also president of the Board of the Glens Falls Senior Center and member of the Queensbury Senior Center. He also took up biking with the Seniors Group, proudly wearing his SOB (seniors on bikes) tee shirt biking into his 80’s.
