Gloria Jean (Guido) Harris, 77, of Sunderland, MD, transitioned into Heaven at her home, surrounded by her family. She was born on April 18, 1943 in Morgantown, WV to Antonio and Evelyn Sampson Guido. They moved to Washington, DC in 1950 then made their home in Capitol Heights, MD. She was in the first graduating class of Central High School in District Heights. After high school she was employed by the United States Justice Department. She then met and married the love of her life Robert (Bobby) Harris on June 16, 1961. The couple moved to Maryland Park to start their family. Gloria decided to stay home and raise their children. They lived in Landover, MD until they moved to their forever home in Calvert County, Maryland. There she raised her children and even her grandchildren who were the most important people in her life. She definitely was the center of her family dynamics. In her leisure time, she enjoyed traveling, shopping for jewelry, collecting anything Elvis and spending as much time with her family and friends as she could. She loved animals and had many dogs and cats throughout her lifetime. She impacted so many lives on earth.
