Gloria Schumacher

Gloria L. Schumacher, 86, of New Philadelphia, passed away Saturday morning, March 8, 2014 in Community Hospice House at New Philadelphia with her husband at her side.

Born October 1, 1927, she was the daughter of the late Eugene A. and Florence Irene (Strickmaker) Ramel.

Gloria had many notable sayings including: “If you are not going to do something right, do not do it at all”.
Gloria will be deeply missed by her family including her husband Richard of New Philadelphia; her son, Rick Schumacher of New Philadelphia; her daughter, Christine “Chris” (Edgar) DelaCruz of Dover; her granddaughter, Stacy Ramel S.
