Gloria Jean Hunter Kasabian

April 25, 1956 – October 28, 2026

Gloria Jean Hunter Kasabian, 70, passed away on October 28, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Gloria lived life to the fullest and loved nothing more than spending time with her family. As a devoted wife, mother of six, and grandmother of 15, she treasured family vacations, holidays, and any opportunity to bring everyone together. Known for her feisty spirit, strength, and unwavering faith, Gloria loved fiercely and faced life’s challenges with determination, including a courageous three-year battle with cancer.

Her greatest joy was knowing that all six of her children loved Jesus. Near the end of her life, she shared that whether she beat cancer or went to Heaven, she would win either way. Her family finds peace knowing she has received her heavenly victory.

Gloria was preceded in death by her parents, William Joseph Hunter and Lena Lucille Hunter, and her sister, Linda Marie Sibilio, and her brother William, Joseph Hunter, Jr.

She is survived by her loving husband, David Kasabian; her children, Randy Richards (Kim), Ivy Eilerman (Ricky), Katie Patronis (Tony), Jessica Finney (Dale), Brian Kasabian II (Sami), and Christopher Kasabian; her beloved grandchildren, Justin, Tyler, Madison, Cody, Randy, Caden, Grace, William, London, Brantley, Addison, Emma, Lena, Grant, and David III; her brother, Bill Hunter; sister, Shirley Street; and numerous extended family members.

Gloria’s greatest legacy is the family she built, the love she poured into each of them, and the faith she passed down through generations. Though her presence will be deeply missed, her spirit will live on in every family gathering, every family tradition, and every moment her loved ones share together. She leaves behind more than memories; she leaves a family forever connected by her love and a faith that assures them this goodbye is not forever.
