At an early age, she accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior. She was baptized under the leadership of her late uncle, Rev. Everette W. Stevenson, Sr.

She was educated in the Washington D.C. Public School System.

She helped nurture her younger siblings, being an at home mom, until they all went through school. She later went to work at the David Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center in Carderock, MD.

In October 1978, she met her soul mate of 30 years, Irving Fitzhugh Johnson. They became one on November 16, 1985.

Gloria's warm smile and gentle touch (or tickle) made all in her presence feel welcome. She could be found most days at home playing computer games and spending time with her grandchildren.
