April 9, 1942 – January 12, 2023
Gloria Bramblett, 80, of Friendswood, TX, passed away peacefully in her home on January 12, 2023 from Alzheimer’s disease.
Gloria Aldine Lowman was born on April 9th, 1942 in Bloomington, Illinois. On May 27, 1964 the University of Southern Mississippi conferred on her a Bachelor of Science degree.
Gloria had a passion for learning and for children and it was only natural for her to become an elementary school teacher before becoming a mother to her only child Eric and a homemaker. She lived in Illinois, Mississippi, New York, and Louisiana before settling in Texas.
She enjoyed baking, sewing, fashion, decorating and gardening. She was an active member in the League City Garden club and later the Friendswood Heritage Gardeners club.
Together with her husband Dick she traveled to Europe, the Holy Land and Alaska. He passed away in 2020.
The most important part of Gloria’s life was her belief in God and Jesus Christ. She was a devout member of Friendswood Methodist. She and Dick were active members in the church and attended Sunday school and services there until the pandemic of 2020.
Gloria is survived by her son Eric Arentsen and his wife Tassa.
Friends are cordially invited to the visitation with the family on Thursday, January 19, 2023 at 9:00 A.M. with the funeral service to follow at 10:00 A.M. at Friendswood United Methodist Church, 110 N. Friendswood Dr., Friendswood, TX 77546 with Rev. Jim Bass officiating. There will not be a reception after the service, the interment will be private.

I was a classmate of Gloria's from Farmer City, Il.. We have know each other since first grade which goes back 73 years. We had many happy and fun times together through the years. My sympathy to Eric and the family. You have lost a great mother and friend. I'm glad Gloria was part of my life. Rest in Peace Gloria. You will be missed.
Gloria was an integral part of my young life. I took baton lessons from her for several years and then she transitioned me into the role of drum majorette that she had done so beautifully. Gloria was always elegant and kind and the Lomans made such an effort to bring etiquette lessons and dancing lessons to young people in our small town. I think of Gloria and her Mother often. I appreciate all the work that they put into me and so many others. My sympathy to her son. Rest In Peace, Gloria.
