Gloria T. (Lopez) Woodland
Family & friends are respectfully invited to attend Visiting Hours on Friday, June 30th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00p.m. (Noon), for Gloria T. (Lopez) Woodland, who passed on Tuesday, June 27th ending a lengthy period of failing health at the Golden Living Center – Dexter House of Malden. Following the visitation, her Funeral Service will be conducted in the funeral home on Friday at 12:15 p.m.
Born & raised in East Boston, Mrs. Woodland, was an alumna of East Boston High School, Class of 1949. Most of her working career was spent in merchandising & credit management for over 20 years, she was a Senior Credit Manager for the former Jordan Marsh Co. at Downtown Crossing. Later she would join the forces at Sak’s Fifth Avenue at the Prudential Center sharing the supervision of Credit Managing. Along her way, she became most familiar & quite helpful to a lovely, elegant, middle-age lady by the name of “Faye Dunaway”, a legend on Broadway & the arts. Gloria was her thoroughly over-the-top helpful self and rendered “Miss Dunaway” free of anxiety & created a friend for all seasons. Gloria was awarded a certificate of merit & a bonus & certainly this experience certainly gave Gloria many fine antidotes for the supper table. There were and are many more similar stories & adventures, all work related that enhanced Gloria’s “permanent record”.
Gloria was the wife of the late, Paul M. Woodland, who passed in March of 2007. She is the devoted mother of Michael W. Woodland, with whom Gloria made her home in Revere, Steven L. Woodland & his wife, Merri R. of Clementon, New Jersey & Paula J. Danilchuck-Grammier & her late husband, Joseph Grammier of Harrisonburg, Va. She was the cherished grandmother of James R. Danilchuck of Stanton, Va. & Christopher Danilchuck of Derry, N.H. She was the dear sister to the late, Esmeralda L. Fellowes & Lilia Leslie. She is also lovingly survived by her former son-in-law, Robert Danilchuck of Derry, N.H. and many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, grand-nephews & her brother-in-law, John Leslie of Beachmont, Revere. Interment will be held privately, later at Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett.
