It is with great sorrow that we note the passing of our dear mother, Gloria Condie. Gloria Gail (Heileson) Condie was born March 20, 1935, in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She passed away on August 11, 2019, thankfully in her sleep. She was the first of five children born to Dora Idella (Wilkins) and Harvey LeRoy Heileson. Even as a young school girl, she worked hard to support herself and assist her family. She worked in the fall spud harvests around Idaho Falls, Idaho, and later worked in the bakery of the original Albertsons Supermarket in Boise, Idaho, making cakes for Joe Albertson’s children’s birthdays.
She graduated from Idaho Falls High School in 1953. She was active in drill team and loved to socialize with her peers. After high school, she worked for Idaho Falls Hospital as a lab assistant. She met and married James J. Condie of Pocatello in 1960, moved to Pocatello, and raised five children. She was a devoted mother and came from the generation of home cooked meals, sewing, and canning food. She was a talented singer and whistler and could often be heard singing or whistling while doing the dishes after dinner.
She is preceded in death by her father Harvey LeRoy, her mother Dora Idella, and her brother Robert LeRoy (Bob). She is survived by her brothers, Stephen Ray (Steve) and Wade, sister Geraldine (Gerri) Sheffield, her ex-husband James Condie, and her five children Patrick, Scott, Brad, Holly (Tukuafu), and Julie (Duffin).
