Gloria Jeannine (Williams) Beuoy, of Overland Park, Kansas, passed away peacefully on February 22, 2026, at Menorah Hospital.
She was born on January 13, 1938, in Winfield, Kansas, to Charles Kenneth and Laura Mae Williams. Gloria grew up in Elgin, Kansas, and attended School in Sedan Kansas where she was a cheerleader and homecoming queen.
On December 15, 1956, she married Richard “Dick” Howard Beuoy. Together they shared 49 wonderful years of marriage. They loved dancing, taking cruises, and spending time with family and friends. Gatherings were always centered around good food — something Gloria insisted upon. Her passion was cooking, and she joyfully shared that gift with those she loved throughout her life.
Gloria held several jobs over the years, but her most rewarding career was as a Realtor, a profession she dedicated herself to for more than 25 years. She had a natural gift for connecting with people and built lasting relationships through her warmth and vibrant personality.
She also loved to shop and could happily spend hours browsing in a single store.
Gloria is survived by her daughters, Leisa (Michael) Davin of Overland Park, Kansas, and Cecilia (Douglas) Cooper of Ankeny, Iowa; her granddaughters, Shannon (Tyler) Hughes and Challis Cooper; and her great-grandchildren, Cooper and Addilyn Hughes.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard; her parents, Kenneth and Mae Williams; and her sister, Carolyn Kopp.
