Gloria Wilson, also known as @grandmaondeck, is an artist and businesswoman living in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. In this episode, Gloria looks back on ninety years of memories, beginning with her childhood in Daytona, Florida, as one of eight children. She was born during the heart of the Great Depression, and remembers those early years of her family, their special Christmas times they spent together, and her journey to becoming a professional businesswoman, who helped other young women in their own careers. After experiencing a fall, Gloria rediscovered her passion for art, instilled in her by her mother, and now is an active artist in her community in Wilson County. She recently had her own exhibition at the Just Love Coffee Shop, and she continues to produce and sell her art in person and online.
