In Loving Memory

Delores Patricia “Pat” Glover

November 9, 1933 – January 4, 2025

Delores Patricia Glover, lovingly known as “Pat,” passed away peacefully on January 4, 2025, at the age of 91.

Born in Roseburg, Oregon, Pat spent most of her life in Reedsport before moving to assisted living in Coos Bay in her later years. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose warmth and steady presence touched everyone she met.

She married Emerald Glover in 1965, and together they raised two children, Brett Glover and Karen Baldwin. Emerald preceded her in death in 2017. Pat was previously married to Ted Gillem, and they shared three children: Jack Gillem, Arleen Hammett, and Thomas Gillem.

She is survived by her five children, five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.

Pat worked for many years as a receptionist at International Paper. She loved tending her yard, pulling weeds, camping, crabbing, and hosting family barbecues. Her life was rooted in simple joys and meaningful connections.

A graveside service to honor Pat’s life will be held on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at the Reedsport Masonic Cemetery. All are welcome to attend and celebrate her memory.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to an Alzheimer’s charity of your choice, in Pat’s memory.
