Gloria (Shaw) Shores, age 68, of Des Moines Iowa, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at 1:30 p.m.
Gloria was born August 3, 1951 in Chicago, Illinois, second daughter to Ronald and Ruth (Croom) Shaw. Gloria had five sisters: Charlotte, Carol, Elizabeth, Diana, and Adrian.
Gloria married Raymond Hill who preceded her in death. In 1984, she married Mark Shores, who also preceded her in death.
Gloria raised five children and one granddaughter.
Gloria attended Marshall High School in Chicago, Illinois. Throughout her life she was active and loved running and playing softball. Throughout Gloria’s life she worked at Ford Motor Company and held various job positions. Gloria was very creative. She made her own jewelry and loved to create frames for the vast number of pictures and caricatures that she had of her children, family, and friends.
Gloria was a faithful member of the Jehovah Witnesses for more than 42 years. Her religion and strong faith in God were very important to her and led her to encourage others. She enjoyed sharing scriptures and giving biblical testimonies. Throughout her life she introduced many to her faith.
Gloria was such a free-spirit. She loved to explore- whether walking around or driving a from place to place seeking adventure. She moved to Des Moines, Iowa in February 2014, where she loved the comforts of the area.
Gloria was a caring and loving person who loved to sing and entertain with family and friends. Throughout her life, Gloria had many friends who were very fond of her. Gloria’s radiant smile, infectious personality, and humor were always a delight.
Gloria is survived by her children, Gerald B. Shaw (Tonya), Anthony M. Shaw, Louise Q. Davis (Michael); and a host of grandchildren, cousins, nieces, nephews, family and a host of treasured friends.
She was preceded in death by her daughters, Gwendolyn Eileen Shaw, Kimberly Ruth Strahan, and her parents, Ronald and Ruth.
In light of the development of the COVID-19 precautions, no public visitation will be held. A memorial service of a celebration of Gloria’s life will be held in Chicago, IL at a later date.

We send our love and sympathy to your family at this time of great loss. We recall that Jesus wept at Lazarus' death, so we too weep with those that weep.
It is the hope of the resurrection that brings comfort at this time. We look forward to the time when we all will be reunited with our dead loved ones. As 1 Cor 15:26 states death is an "enemy" but we look forward to the time when no one will feel the sting of death.
Rev 21:3,4 reveals that Jesus Rule will bring death to an end for all. May your family be comforted by Gods Word, along with the prayers and kind words of loving friends and family.
We send our prayers for you and yours, at this very difficult time.
Love, Larry and Murael Pantaleo

I will miss her she was like the mother of the congregation she will fuss at you that's how you know she care about you. I love how she told her experiences how she got into the truth . She was very quiet about her personal life but it was ok she only let you know what she want you to know but that's ok too in order to stay close to her don't ask to many questions about herself. I loved the way she was and she really had a heart and she love the ministry that's when you really got to know her . One thing I do know she loved her family she may not act like it but you can tell she said good things about them. I will missed her dearly.
