Gloria King Bonton
May 25, 1957 – May 25, 2020
Gloria King Bonton was born on May 25, 1957 in Omaha, Nebraska, to Clarence King and Irene Turner-King. She was the second of six children, with brothers, Cedric and Howard, and sisters, Margaret, Cecelia and Caynette.
She was baptized in the name of Jesus and received the gift of the holy ghost at an early age under District Elder James P. Foster at Greater Bethlehem Temple in Omaha, Nebraska.
Gloria graduated high school from North High in Omaha, Nebraska, and then proudly served her country in joining the United States Army.
Gloria later settled in Florida, spending over 25 years there, where she met her fiancé, BB Mosbey, who she called ‘her sweetheart’. She also served faithfully under Apostle James A. Rorie at Faith Deliverance Cathedral Ministries while in Florida. She returned to Omaha, Nebraska, in 2014 for the home going of her sister, Cecelia, and remained there to care for her mother.
Gloria had the gift of gab! She loved to talk and loved to use this gift to minister and invite others to the Lord! She loved reading her bible, especially her favorite scripture, Psalm 23, which she recited quite often. She also loved constantly calling her big sister, Margaret, asking how to pronounce different things in the bible as she was reading! Gloria always wanted to ensure that she was right with others and right with the Lord, and every night would say to her mother and loved ones, “If I have done anything to you, I apologize, please forgive me.”
Upon returning to Omaha, Gloria was a faithful member of The Glory Tabernacle under District Elder Clifton Hobbs III. Gloria loved serving in the church in any way that she could and was known for her contagious smile and the love that she showed for those around her, especially the young people. As much as she loved to serve, Gloria also had a sense of humor and one of her favorite past times at The Glory Tabernacle was how much she loved joking around with Deacon Harvey and giving him a hard time!
Gloria entered into rest with the Lord on May 25, 2020, in Omaha, Nebraska.
