Educator Gloria A. Robb, 46, Wichita, formerly of Augusta, died Saturday, Oct. 14, at the HCA Wesley Medical Center in Wichita after an extended bout with cancer.
Her funeral service will be 2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 18, in the Byrd-Snodgrass Funeral Home chapel in Wichita. Gene Burkhart, a chaplain with Midian Temple Shrine, will officiate and burial will be in the Greenwood Cemetery at Belmont around 4:30 Wednesday afternoon.

Mrs. Robb conducted education workshops at local, state, and national levels. She was also a consultant for D.C. Heath Publishing Co.
Her creativity and talent as an educator inspired many young people to choose that as a career goal. Her energy, enthusiasm and sense of humor was known to students and faculty at Wichita State University, Friends University, Bethel College, and McPherson College.
She had a great love for life and had been battling cancer for more than five years. Her most recent entry into the hospital was about two weeks ago.
