Gloria Barnson, age 64, of Ruth, Nevada passed away peacefully in St. George, UT on March 5, 2017 as a result of complications of a long-lived illness.
Gloria was a loving mother and devoted wife. Gloria was born February 24, 1953 in Ely, Nevada to Ramon and Emma Barela.
She was one of five children. She attended Ruth Grade School and White Pine High School. Gloria married her high school sweetheart, Bryant Barnson on April 17, 1970 in Ruth, Nevada. Together they raised three wonderful children, Angela, Alfred, and Anthony.
She spent twelve years working for the Bybee family at the Ramada Inn Copper Queen Casino and also ran a self-employed cleaning business. Her hobbies included anything to do with her family and friends. She enjoyed beading, hunting, fishing, camping and supporting activities of her husband and children.

You will be missed. One of the nicest people I have ever met.
Gloria was my neighbor in Ruth when we were children from when she was 8 yrs old. She was vibrant, adorable and always smiling. I will miss her. Yes, I babysat her and her three brothers when they were very young and I was in my teens. I am sorry she is gone. May the Lord embrace her in His loving arms.
