Gloria June Evans McEachern passed away September 18, 2019 surrounded by family. She was born June 5, 1936 in Portland, Oregon and grew up in El Monte, California. She later moved to Washington with her family where she worked for her Aunt Grace and Uncle Mitch at the Cougar Inn on Lake Wenatchee. This is where she met her husband Earl McEachern.

Gloria is being remembered as a fabulous mother. She had a fabulous flair for fashion. She was a very social and intelligent lady. Gloria worked as a nurse’s aid at the Leavenworth hospital before working as a dental assistant for Dr. Chandler. She worked in a few shops in town, including the Pendleton shop (as evidenced by her closet).
Gloria enjoyed going to King’s Orchard Church of Christ while she was able.
