A lady of great taste and style, her creativity was always evident to her guests at her homes in Cornwall and on Thompson's Point in Charlotte. Gloria was a dancer and choreographer with a keen eye for design and dress. She and her late husband, Gilbert Shaw, designed their house in Cornwall and the distinctive buildings of the Polymers Company on Route 116 in Middlebury during the 1950s and 1960s. Until her very last year she gave dance classes in her homes to friends that over the years developed into a supportive group, which she referred to as the "Sisterhood."

She served faithfully on the board of Green Mountain College for six years and was an early member of the Vermont Mozart Festival organizing board. Gloria Eksergian Shaw was married Geisse Fuguet and moved to a historic farmhouse in Bucks County, Pa., where she and her husband raised trotters and pacers. Her daughter, Gay (Fuguet) Regan, was born here. Gloria's interest in travel led her to Vermont in a curious way. In 1953 she began traveling extensively in Europe and South America. That year she met her second husband, Gilbert Shaw, on the maiden voyage of the Andrea Doria and she later joined Gil in Middlebury. At home she became the close friend and confidant of Gil's children as well as a nurturing mother and grandmother to her daughter and grandchildren. Gil and Gloria were constant companions and continued to pursue their love of travel, visiting Gil's extrusion patent licensees the world over and adventuring on ocean liners and yachts for pleasure until his untimely death in 1973. During an extended period of grief after Gil's death, Gloria spent winters helping a long time friend manage Galley Bay resort on Antigua. It was there that she met Dr. Frederic Wertz, her loving companion of her latter years. Dr. Wertz retired from his prominent psychiatric practice in Tenafly, N.J., and moved to Vermont, practicing psychiatry part-time in Middlebury and Shelburne. Together Gloria and Fred enjoyed theater, ballroom dancing and travel. Widowed again in 1995, Gloria's life was enriched by her ever-widening circle of family and friends. During these final years she maintained her adventurous spirit, traveling as far as Saipan to celebrate the birth of her great-grandchild, Katerina Retwaiut. Her death was a great loss to all those who loved and admired her. Tragically, two of her Shaw daughters, Sandra Gullikson and Nancy Weil, were taken by ALS and cancer respectively during the summer of 2001. She is survived by her daughter, Gay Fuguet Regan and her husband, Peter, of Hinesburg, and a step-daughter, Mary Shaw Mackay and her husband, Alan, of Spokane, Wash.; her cousin and life-long friend, Brenda Eksergian Boehnert and her husband, Kenneth, of Sarasota, Fla., and her niece, whom she helped to raise as a teenager, Mary Jane Shaw McKee and her husband, James, of Potomac, Md. She has a number of living grandchildren: Kenneth Miller and wife Lisa, Happy Miller-Retwaiut and husband Ramon, Andrea Regan, Caressa Gullikson Houghton and husband Geoffrey, Jordan Gullikson, Margaret Mackay, Susie Mackay Healy and husband Keefe, and David Weil as well as six great-grandchildren.
