Gloria Carol Comstock, age 83, passed away on August 20, 2015 at Hyde Park Health Center in Cincinnati, OH.  She was born on December 6, 1931 in Craig, CO  to the late George Miller and Yoleta (Jones) Payton.  Her husband, Paul E. Comstock, preceded her in death on May 21, 2014.

Gloria is survived by three children and their spouses: Joni and Tim Allison of New Palestine, IN, Cheryl and Paul Gibboney of Troy, OH and Michael P. and Liz Comstock of Cincinnati, OH; one brother: Ted (Lee) Payton of Newark, CA; six grandchildren: Courtney Allison, A J Gibboney, Patrick Gibboney, Kendra (Mike) Meyer, Frannie Comstock and Clark Comstock and one great granddaughter: Noelle Meyer.  In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by two brothers; George and Robert Payton.

Gloria received her nursing degree from the University of Southern California, with a focus on Pediatric care. Her commitment to the care and comfort of others continued when she moved to Ohio with her husband – including volunteer work for The United Church of Christ of West Milton (where she was a member for over 40 years), The West Milton Lions Club, and other community organizations and children's literacy efforts.

Her kindness, compassion and laughter will be missed by all who knew her.
