Vietnam Veterans of America – California. An ambitious record of employment followed, highlighted by 23 years as a dedicated San Diego Transit bus driver. Bursting with energy and entrepreneurial spirit, Gloria launched a gardening service, and explored interests as diverse as custom car competitions to crafts and video editing. Gloria's maternal instincts were realized in raising Annie and Andrew Pagan, who enjoyed a lifetime of love, care and attention. In later years, Gloria enjoyed countless adventures with her significant partner, Jayne Russell, who passed away in 2000. Throughout her life, Gloria doted on her precious pet dogs, generously contributed financial resources to family and friends, and shared sumptuous feasts at holidays and sports gatherings in her home. Generations of nieces and nephews delighted in her grand visits to the Del Mar Fair. Sadly, after a work-related accident in 1996, the abundant strength that had empowered Gloria during her life, through so many campaigns, began to wane. She passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by her precious pets, artifacts and honors. Her legacy of strength, valor, competition, and generosity will be a source of inspiration to all who had the privilege of sharing in her life. The Memorial Service was held at 2:00 PM on July 26th, at Saint Philip Episcopal Church, 2660 Hardy, Lemon Grove, California.

He was born on Monday, January 7, 1946 in Sunbury, Pennsylvania to the late Thomas LeRoy and Kathryn Irene (née Reddick) Reichley. As a kid, Grandma gave him the nickname of "Pat, the Red-Headed Irishman" and is the reason that everyone knows him as Pat. As a teenager, Pat appreciated the beauty of his surroundings and spent a lot of time in the woods. He enjoyed going to the movies with his friends, where a good time was always had. Pat was a huge Elvis Presley fan and remained one throughout his life. As a young man at the age of 19, he enlisted in the United States Army, during the height of the Vietnam War, as a combat soldier. As a member of the 1/11 Cavalry ACR Blackhorse Division, he was an expert rifleman. Serving on the frontline, Pat saw firsthand the ravages that war brings. He "was blown out of track" on an ACP Troop Carrier. He was an At-Large Member of Vietnam Veterans of America – Arizona. Following his honorable release from the military, Pat moved to Arizona. He married his forever sweetheart, Peggy Joyce Meyers, on April 4, 1969. In the early years of his marriage, Pat began working for the Arizona State Hospital as a truck driver. He drove trucks for many years until his health no longer permitted him to do so. For the many years following his military service, Pat suffered from PTSD. This, along with exposure to Agent Orange, caused him to become disabled and retire at an early age. Pat is survived by his wife, Peggy Reichley; his two sons, Barry Reichley, Jr., William Reichley; his three stepsons, Thomas Curren, Robert Curren, James Curren, and; his grandson, Wade Reichley. Inurnment with military honors was at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, September 5th, at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, 23029 Cave Creek Road, Phoenix.
