Diane was born Sept. 19, 1944 in Shawnee, Okla, the daughter of Harry and Edith Smitherman. Her love or water started in Galveston then to Hawaii and finally to Corpus Christi. Her favorite was Hawaii. While in Houston she met her husband Tim. They have known each other for 30 years, and were married 23 years. She was a very proud grandma better known as “G-maw.” She loved their visits often talking about them whenever possible.
Her love for animals led her to showing champion Dobermans in obedience with the H.O.T. Club of Houston. Her love for horses also brought her great joy. Her spirit for life took her many places, including Pikes Pike. Her “I can” attitude made her the longest living patient for her cardiologist. Gloria’s desire to laugh and make her own life rules kept everyone around her coming back for more.
Survivors include: her husband of 23 years, Timothy; children, Keith (Brooke) Marler, Kimberly Marler and stepdaughter, Jessica (James) Reyes, all of Houston, Texas; sister, Harriet (Gerald) Hadley of Burlson, Texas; brother, A1 Parrish of Crockett, Texas; grandchildren, Brandon Marler, Lauren (Vince) Fodera, Colt and Justin Marler; great grandchild, Luca Fodera; a host of nieces, nephews and glorious friends who traveled this journey with her.
