Gloria DI Murro

It was with great sadness that we learned of Gloria Di Murro’s passing on April 9, 2007. Two buses were chartered to ferry the many Vanier friends and acquaintances who attended her funeral held on April 13th at Notre-Dame-de-la-Défense Church, 6800 Henri-Julien.

Gloria will be fondly remembered and deepy missed by all those who were touched by her great vivacity as well as the unfailing kindness she showed to her fellow employees here at the College.


A LETTER TO THE VANIER COMMUNITY FROM DIRECTOR GENERAL GILBERT HÉROUX

April 11, 2007
Dear Colleagues,

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the untimely death of a close and dear colleague, Gloria Di Murro, Support Staff member of the Printshop and employee of Vanier College since May 1976.

We could always count on Gloria’s involvement and creative contributions to College activities whether she was performing as Gert, The Bag Lady, at the Women’s Annual Champagne Breakfast or cooking a fabulous Italian meal for Chefs for Charity. Gloria was a key member of the organizing committee of the College’s Annual Retirement-20-Year Service Celebration and was a driving force in organizing many of our Happy Hours.

Visitation will take place on Wednesday, April 11 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. and Thursday, April 12 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Centre Funéraire Côte-Des-Neiges, 4525, chemin de la Côte des Neiges. The Funeral Service will be held on Friday, April 13th at 11:00 a.m. at Notre Dame de la Défense, 6800 Henri-Julien, corner Dante. For those who wish to attend the funeral service, two buses will be leaving the College from the Sports Complex at 10:15 a.m.

At the request of the family, donations may be made to the Vanier College Foundation, c/o The Gloria Di Murro Memorial Fund.

On behalf of the Vanier Community, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to her family.

Sincerely,

Gilbert Héroux
Director General
