AUGUSTA - Ruth "Gloria" Tibbetts passed away peacefully on Dec. 24, 2014, after a long illness at the MaineGeneral LTC facility. Gloria was born in Winthrop on Dec. 25, 1929, the daughter of Katherine Gray Williams and John Williams.

Gloria worked in the Bonified Mills in Winthrop, as a waitress at Macnamara's restaurant in Winthrop, and as an apple packer at Chick's Orchards. Gloria enjoyed visiting with friends and family at the kitchen table over a cup of coffee.

She is survived by three sons Robert and wife Bonnie of Waite, Bruce and wife Eva of Mt. Vernon, and Thomas and husband Paul of Pittsburgh, Pa.; eight grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

At Gloria's request, there will be no services. A private burial will be at graveside in the spring at Glenside Cemetery in Winthrop.
