Gloria Lucille White

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Gloria Lucille Balistierri-White of Pewaukee, WI. Gloria died at the age of 80 on November 28, 2022 peacefully, with family by her side after a battle of Lewy Body Dementia. Gloria was welcomed into Heaven by her father and mother, Thomas and Gertrude Balistierri and her brother Frank. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Kenneth White, her six children, Michael (Nancy) Nau, Antoinette (Ryan) Kartz, Rosie (Jeff) Baker, Maria Funkhouser, Gena Santharam, Jimmy (Heather) Nau. Step-children Kenny White, Jon White, Paula Berger, Tony White and Grandchildren. She was Nana to Jeri, Tommy, Cole, Danny, Ben, Maya, Sammy, Lucy, Isabell, Nikhil, Harper, Alex, Hudson and Rory.

Gloria enjoyed dancing, laughing and being silly. She loved her Italian heritage. She was a great cook and made the best Italian sauce.
Gloria was an example of strength, love, empathy and compassions for others. She was proud of her Catholic faith and attended church regularly. Even during her dementia she talked of wanting to be a nun and join the convent.

Her faithfulness and devotion to her family was by far the most important part of her life. After raising six kids she gladly and often baby sat her grandchildren and attended all their sporting events, concerts and dance recitals. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten. We are comforted knowing her suffering is over and she is in the loving care of our Lord, Jesus.

Memorial gathering will be held for Gloria at St. Charles Church, 313 Circle D. Hartland, WI 53029 on Monday, December 5th from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM. Mass to follow at 1:00 PM.
