Gloria's educational journey began at the Little Flower Indian Mission School, St. Michael, followed by Fort Totten Day School, and graduating from the Immaculate Conception Indian Mission School, Stephan, SD, Class of 1950. She was one of the first graduates on the reservation earning her associate degree from Little Hoop Community College. In 1985 she obtained her social work license. Gloria’s first job was at Mercy Hospital as a dishwasher. She later served as a paraprofessional in the Devils Lake Public School District, where she shared her passion for learning and also taught beadwork, passing on cultural traditions to the next generation. For 18 years, she served as the head social worker for the Spirit Lake Tribe and another 20 years as the director of the Healthy Start Program, which focused on prenatal services for families on the reservation. Her community engagement began as a founding member of the O’tanka Club for Spirit Lake. She was also on various boards that would help develop many social and education programs for the Spirit Lake Tribe. In 1992, she was appointed by Governor Schafer to the Governor's Committee on Aging, where she represented Spirit Lake elders. Gloria also held the position of Great Plains representative on the National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA) and served as chair of the Spirit Lake Elders Board. Gloria was a lifelong member of the St. Michael Catholic Church. In addition to her professional achievements, Gloria was a mother and grandmother. She is survived by her children and their families. From her marriage to “Happy” Lindquist: Cynthia Lindquist, Duane Lindquist, Candace Lindquist Zamora, Carmen Lindquist, and Darrell Lindquist (Mary). From her marriage to “Jimmy” Green: Leslie Green (Lori), James J. Green, Raymond Green (Jolene), Edward Green, Lynn Green, Aaron Green (Karri) and Fabian Green.
