Gloria Tillotson

Obituary: Gloria H. Tillotson

Gloria H. Tillotson, 76, of Peacham, passed away peacefully on May 2, 2025, at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

Gloria was born on February 24, 1949, in St. Johnsbury to Clarence and Arlene (Ailes) Hubbard. She graduated from Danville High School in 1967 before earning an associates degree at Albany Business College in 1969. She married Michael Tillotson on August 1, 1970, sharing nearly 55 years together until Gloria’s passing. Gloria was a dedicated homemaker for some years before beginning her career as a bookkeeper at many businesses, including Hovey’s, Poulos Insurance, North Country Home Health, and the Monroe and Twinfield Schools.

Gloria was a woman of many talents and loves. She loved quilting, spending time outdoors near the water, and camping. She loved to travel, and she and Michael would go to Daytona every February for the Daytona 500. She loved her church and was a weekly congregant of the North Danville Baptist Church. Of all the things she loved, however, she had the greatest love for her family. She loved spending time with her growing family and getting to know every new grandchild and great-grandchild. She will be greatly missed by all of them.

Gloria is survived by her husband, Michael Tillotson of Peacham; sons Brian Tillotson of Monroe, NH, and Dennis Tillotson of Peacham; sister Carol (Tim) Shay of Belchertown, MA; grandchildren Katie (Alberto) Martinez, Samantha (Dustin Giroux) Tillotson, Kari (Curtis Randall) Tillotson, Shane Tillotson, Keegan Tillotson, Laura Chase, Keith (Katelyn) Tillotson, Lydia (Zach Sanborne) Tillotson, and Halie (Matthew) Colburn; as well as 14 great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, as well as her sister Sylvia.

A funeral service will be held at 11AM on May 17, 2025, at the North Danville Baptist Church. There will be no calling hours.
