- Gloria H. Bray Obituary
Gloria H. Bray, of Pulaski passed away peacefully at home on January 15. As she did with everything her whole life long, she did it her way.
Gloria was born in Watertown on April 26, 1940, to John “Jack” Hunter and Vivian Gould. She was raised in Rutland, NY and later moved to Copenhagen and then Pulaski.
In Pulaski, Gloria raised 7 children of her own, as well as taking on 2 bonus kids and numerous others who needed love and support. She always had room in her heart and her home for any kid who was lost or in need. She was known all around town for her huge heart, feisty personality, and generosity. She took in any stray that needed a home, be it human, canine, or feline. Her house was always full of kids, cats, and dogs. She was stubborn, strong, tough, kind, and soft all at the same time. Her death leaves a huge hole that will never be filled.
Gloria is survived by the love of her life and long-time companion, Carl Howlett. She was extremely happy to be survived by all her children. She was, in fact, survived by a bevy of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and “adopted” children.

She is also survived by numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren, several “fosters” and a slew of “skate park kids.”
She was predeceased by son-in-law Daniel J. Moriarty and great granddaughter Peyton Elizabeth Wheeler.
