Gloria Brewer

November 14, 1954 — October 16, 2023

Gloria “Peanut” Brewer of Tarentum, PA, passed away Monday, October 16, 2023.


Born November 14, 1954, she was the youngest daughter of the late Julius and Betty Bauers)  Kubican.


She graduated from Deer Lakes High School and was employed at Health South/Encompass Health where she worked in food service for 43 years until she retired in May 2022. She was the longest tenured employee for Encompass when she retired.


Gloria enjoyed traveling to Las Vegas, going to the casino in Pittsburgh, going to camp, and getting together with family to make pierogies. She enjoyed reading, loved Elvis Presley, was a former Girl Scout Leader, and volunteered as a Judge of Elections for Tarentum Borough for many years.  Gloria was a member of Faith Lutheran Church in Natrona Heights.


Gloria baked and decorated cakes for weddings, graduations, baptisms, and other special events.

She would pay attention to which cookies her family liked, giving each person a gift box of their favorites at Christmas. Gloria had a mischievous giggle, and her family all agree that she gave the best hugs.
