Gloria Hubele

December 14, 2011

It is with heavy hearts and fond memories that we announce the passing of our beloved Gloria Hubele.
Dear wife of 26 years to Ralph Hubele, Gloria peacefully left this world following a courageous battle at the Rockyview Hospital in Calgary, Alberta on December 14, 2011 at the age of 66.

Gloria held an inspiring love for the natural world, reflected in her passion for gardening, wildlife, travel, cooking, and the stars above. Predeceased by parents Teresa and Wasil Koreniowski, Gloria will be affectionately remembered by her children, Jim (Sandra) and Mercedes; siblings Mary (Harold), Lillian (Erroll) and Ernest (Alice), including Gloria’s cherished grandson, Daniel, and doting nieces and nephews and their children.

With the perfume of new flower buds, and the shining cosmos above, we will never forget the lives you have touched and the incredible love you brought to our world.

A special thank you to the staff in the Intensive Care Unit at the Rockyview Hospital for their wonderful and compassionate care.

Messages of Condolence

To the Hubele Family: I volunteered with Gloria at the Calgary Zoo for many years, plus worked with her at Bretin's Flower Farm. She was a great friend, and had a marvelous green thumb! I still have one of the plants she gave me--it did well in my Langdon garden and now grows in my Cochrane garden. I think of her whenever I see that pink geranium in full bloom! We had lost touch in the last few years, but I still treasure the times we spent playing in the dirt! She is now one of God's "gardening angels" and will be missed by all who knew her. Sharon Davis
