Gloria Scheidler

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Gloria Scheidler, a beloved mother, sister, and friend, who departed this earthly life on April 22, 2026, at the age of 73. Born on May 28, 1952, in the picturesque town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Gloria was a beacon of light and love to all who had the privilege of knowing her. Gloria was the cherished daughter of the late Carl and Anna Kagel, who instilled in her a deep appreciation for family, kindness, and community. Growing up in Bethlehem, she developed a lifelong love for the rolling hills and rich history of her birthplace, often reminiscing about the joyful days of her childhood spent exploring the landscapes and traditions of her beloved hometown. In life, Gloria was the devoted wife of the late William Scheidler, with whom she shared many beautiful years of marriage, full of laughter, adventure, and unwavering support. Together, they created a loving home filled with warmth and joy, where their children learned the values of love, compassion, and resilience. Gloria was predeceased by her beloved husband William and her dear son Edward, whose memories she cherished and carried with her every day. A woman of grace and fortitude, Gloria dedicated her life to her family. She is survived by her loving daughter, Carol Sikora, who reflects the strength and kindness of her mother, and her cherished brother, William, who remained a steadfast source of support and companionship throughout Gloria's life. They, along with countless friends and extended family, will forever hold her memory close to their hearts. Gloria's life was a testament to the power of love and perseverance. She possessed an innate ability to connect with others on a deep and meaningful level, and her generosity of spirit left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to cross her path. Her laughter was infectious, her wisdom profound, and her heart as expansive as the skies she so often admired. In her community, Gloria was known not only for her culinary skills, which turned family gatherings into cherished experiences, but also for her volunteer work, where she selflessly dedicated her time to helping those in need. Her legacy of kindness and her unwavering faith in the goodness of people will continue to inspire those who knew her. We invite all who knew and loved Gloria to join us in celebrating her life and legacy. A memorial service will be held to honor her memory and the profound impact she had on all our lives. Details of the service will be announced in due course. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Gloria's memory to a charity of your choice, reflecting her spirit of giving and compassion for others. Gloria Scheidler will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Her spirit will forever echo in the hearts of those she touched, a reminder of a life well-lived and a love everlasting. May she rest in eternal peace.
