Obituary of Gloria R. Webel

Gloria R. Webel, of Falmouth, passed away peacefully in the presence of family on August 9th, at the Gosnell House Hospice in Scarborough, Maine. At age 95, she was blessed with a full and wonderful life. Gloria was a beloved spouse, daughter, and sister to those who passed before her and is survived by her loving children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. She grew up on Long Island in NY and graduated from Huntington High School. Upon graduating from Mount Holyoke College in 1947 with a Major in Physics, she was poised to take a position in her chosen field when Henry E. Webel, Jr. asked for her hand in marriage. Raising a family together would become her life’s work and joy. Gloria enjoyed gardening, entertaining, and time spent on, in, and near the water. She volunteered in church, the hospital, PTA, and Scouts. Gloria took great pride in the family she raised and cherished every moment spent together. Her longevity was a gift that allowed her to witness the progress of her progeny through life. Gloria was fortunate to always live near the water. She will be missed by dear friends and family who reside near the shores of Huntington Bay, Brandy Pond, and Casco Bay.
