A collection of memories and reflections on the life of Gloria Timmons

NASHUA, N.H. — Gloria J. Timmons died one year ago today, on Oct. 29, 2025, at age 73. A former member of the Nashua Board of Education, she was serving as an alderwoman-at-large at the time of her death.

But Gloria was much more than an elected official.
