She has been a lifelong resident of Fergus Falls, Minnesota where she grew up on a small family farm. Her career prior to writing wove around being a Registered Radiologic Technologist, Medical Secretary, Administrative Assistant, Chiropractic Assistant, After Care Coordinator for Hospice and a Funeral Home, and a Pre-school Teaching Assistant.
Her career outside the home was cut short when she acquired a disabling autoimmune disorder in 1995. It was at this time that she began her career as a writer and started her own small business gloribks in 2002. Her genre includes creative non-fiction memoirs, poetry, devotionals, and children’s picture book manuscripts. Most of her writing is nostalgic and has been published in a variety of newspapers, magazines, and anthologies--including CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL books.
Glorianne and her husband Wayne have been married for 47 years. They live in a rural development on the edge of the city of Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Wayne is a retired teacher and works part time as a pre-need specialist at a funeral home. Although they kid a lot about living in “the fast lane”, they enjoy being semi-retired and experiencing the slower pace of life.
Glori is the mother of three adult children and five grandchildren ranging in age from five to sixteen. She is a member of the Calvary Free Lutheran Church in Fergus Falls.
In her spare time she enjoys singing in her church and the community, playing the piano and organ by ear, rummage sales, auctions, antiquing, genealogy, embroidery, flower gardens, public speaking and reading her stories set to background music. Her idea of a perfect Sunday afternoon is taking a nap.weniger sehen
