Gloria J. McComsey, 86

June 06, 2023

Gloria J. McComsey, 86, of Lancaster, passed away on Tuesday, June 6, 2023 at Lancaster General Hospital.

Born in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late Fred F. and Hilda M. (Reese) Bletz. She was married to the love of her life, David A. McComsey, Sr. for 70 years.

Gloria had a passion for singing. Some of her favorite music consisted of Elvis, Kenny Rogers, and Golden Oldies. One of her favorite things to do was go out and listen to her son’s band play around town. Her other interests included outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, and camping. One of the camping sites Gloria and David frequented was at Holloway Beach. One thing that Gloria was most known for was hosting get-togethers with friends and family and cooking her amazing food. She could make anything taste delicious.

In addition to her husband, Gloria is survived by her three children, David A. (Linda) McComsey, Jr., Bruce F. (Phyllis) McComsey., and Teena L. (Anthony) Karr; her siblings, Donald, James, Nancy, and Pauline; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and siblings, Norma, Kenneth, Frederick, Mary, Richard, and Shirley.

A Celebration of Life for Gloria will be held at a later date.

Gloria was such an amazing woman. I had the pleasure to get to know glory down at Holloway Beach. When we were first part of the Camground, she was so kind and caring towards us. Welcoming us to the campground with open arms. I loved hearing  her sing,  she had an awesome voice. My mom and dad thought highly of glory as well as me and my boys!  Rest in peace glory and I will continue to pray for peace for your family. Sharon neigh

When I watched Gloria with Dave and her family, it was obvious she was loving every minute of it. And when I think of her, I always picture her singing Proud Mary. To the family, I hope the precious memories you have help you as you go through this terribly sad time. I’m very sorry.  Julie Abel

I use to work with Gloria but better then that i remember as a kid her and her sons playing in my parents yard on east end ave. at my dads yearly big party until the cops would come and say OK Joe turn the music down. So they did until the cops left and then the music went right back up again, and then here they come again.  Good old days     Joe DeMora jr
