In this episode of 'The Simple Lives We Live', I have the honor of interviewing my Aunt Gloria, who reflects on her 79 years filled with family, love, resilience, and faith. Gloria shares vivid memories of growing up in Beach, North Dakota, from working on the farm and attending grade school to learning to drive a tractor. She recounts the close-knit bond with her siblings, the influence of her mother and Aunt Olive, and the impact of her father's death. Gloria also discusses her career as a nurse, her brief engagement, her time in a convent, and her passion for helping others. Through stories of Christmas celebrations, childhood games, and her deep involvement with nieces and nephews, Gloria's narrative is a testament to finding joy and meaning in the simple, everyday moments.
