Gloria Hayman of Longwood, passed away peacefully on Aug. 9, 2013 after a long illness. She was 82 years old. She faced her condition with courage and dignity and even at the end she captured people with her smile.

Mrs. Hayman was born in Toronto, Ontario on May 30, 1931, to the late Helen and Samuel Wise. She had one sister, Elaine Kravetsky, who is deceased. She had been married for 60 years to Julius Hayman, who was continually at her side.

The Haymans initially settled in Detroit but later lived in Cherry Hill, N.J .; Framingham, Mass .; Gaithersburg, Md .; Vincentown, N.J .; and finally Longwood, Fla., where they have lived for 20 years. Mrs. Hayman regarded each area as a place to explore and an opportunity to meet new folks. She made friends easily because she loved people and was very active in the Hadassah.

Mrs. Hayman is survived by her husband, Julius; two sons Jeffrey and Steven Hayman; and two grandchildren.
