Gloria Monday Rose Dingle leaves an amazing legacy of faith, love, and service; but also, one of diligence, planning and foresight. She truly modeled Jesus Christ in her daily life. She prepared her loved ones for her passing by saying very often over the later years of her life that she was “ready to be with the Lord”. She urged us all to “not be sad” upon her passing because she “will be with the Lord”. She also urged her family to not “hover over or pay attention to” her body upon her transition, saying “I won’t be there!” She left her family a handwritten note telling us she loved us and told us to continue to love one another, and to “say it often”. She made preparations and left clear instructions for us upon her transition, including writing the text of this Obituary and expressing her desires for a Memorial Service. Services will be held at Forest Lawn Funeral Home, 7909 Mormon Bridge Road, Omaha, NE 68152, followed by “some sort of cookout or picnic where you can all gather together and laugh”. Therefore, we shall do just exactly that. A life well lived by a phenomenal Woman of God!
