Gloria lived a rich, vibrant, fulfilling and happy life. She was super organized in every facet and she demonstrated a boundless energy for whatever task she undertook.
Gloria was born in Cochrane, Ontario. She enjoyed her early years in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec where she assisted her parents in the family business. When they moved to Ottawa, she worked at the Lebanese Embassy as Secretary to the Ambassador, His Excellency Robert Khlat.  Her years there were some of her most memorable.
In 1966, she married her long-time love, Dr. John W. Haddad from Sudbury, Ontario. Together they lived there before moving to Ottawa. They travelled the world finding their retirement home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which they enjoyed every winter for over 40 years.
Gloria was always positive and creative. Her creative thoughts conceived the publishing of “The Lebanese Kitchen”.
A Committee was formed, with Gloria as chairperson, with the intention that the sale proceeds would benefit the St. Elias Building Fund. The cookbook is now in its 7th edition and is a Canadian best seller.
Gloria was a very generous person having contributed to many of her favourite charities.

If you wish to make a donation in her memory, do so to your favourite charity, in her name.  For that, the family thanks you.
