Obituary of Gloria C. Wescott

Gloria C. (Rossetto) Wescott age 96 of Vineland passed away on April 11, 2020 at Spring Oaks Assisted Living after a brief illness. Gloria was born in Vineland to the late James and Adelgisa Rossetto. She was a Vineland resident her entire life before moving to Cranberry Run in Buena. She attended Sacred Heart School. Gloria's love of roller skating introduced her to her husband of 73 years, Lawrence W. Wescott, Sr. who passed away in August of 2016 at the age of 95. Gloria and her husband shared many interests, she worked part time in their glass business, Wescott Glass for over 40 years. Together they traveled throughout this great country and abroad. They particularly loved Bermuda. They spent many winters in Florida, always staying someplace different and visiting every VFW and American Legion they could find. Gloria loved playing Pinochle, but would only play if her husband was her partner. She loved reading the morning newspaper and solving word find puzzles. She was a loyal Phillies fan never missing a game on T.V. Her other favorites were watching Lawrence Welk, game shows and attending Sunday morning mass. She enjoyed tracking the weather throughout the country on the Weather Channel and enjoyed reading Reader's Digest. Gloria was a loving and compassionate woman. She especially enjoyed family celebrations with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who lovingly referred to her as Nonna. She and her husband hosted their Christmas Eve celebration with the entire family for over 50 years. She was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary at American Legion Post 270 in Minotola, formerly a member of the VFW Auxiliary of Vineland and a parishioner of St. Michael's Church in Minotola.
