Gloria A. Hanawalt, 77, of Emmaus, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 2, 2023, at Lehigh Valley Hospital Hospice surrounded by her family. This spring, Gloria attended the dedication of the new Kristi Hanawalt Life Skills Center in Allentown. Named after her beloved daughter, the center was opened by Via of the Lehigh Valley to provide services to meet a critical need for younger adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our coverage of that dedication ceremony appeared in last week’s issue.
