We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for loving our mom and supporting us during this time. Her transition was a surprise, but we have found comfort in knowing that she touched so many people in various ways. Throw something on the grill for our girl and turn on some music…that is what she would do!

Sending heartfelt condolences to the family. I worked with Mrs. Cho at Westwood & she was great! She was no nonsense, but with a heart of gold. I will remember her smile.
I worked with Ms. Cho at Northeast and Westwood. At Westwood is where we got to really know each other as her study hall was right across from student activities! What a joy she was! So full of spirit and laughter and oh how she loved her family! I’m so glad I got to see her and take a picture with her last month at the R2 retirees luncheon. Gloria, you will be missed! Your smile and wit are unmatched. Thinking of your family at this difficult time.💗
Sending heartfelt Codolences and Prayers to the family of Gloria. She always lifted my spirit when shopping at the Ft.Jackson Commissary where I was employed.Comfort to the family in her transition.
Sincerely, Submitted
Beverly A🙏🏾🕊
I worked with “Ms. Cho” at Clemson Road Child Development Center in RSD2 and could always count on her smile and humor. We had a connection and an appreciation of one another that I remember most fondly. I’m sorry I didn’t see her in recent years and know her family will miss her terribly. From my heart to your hearts, I wish you all well.
Keeping the family in my prayers. Mrs. Cho was a genuine person with a beautiful smile. She will be missed.
My prayers for the family. I am going to miss your laugh and sincerity. You taught me the meaning of attention to detail working in the canteen. You and the family came to the recruiting office to support my military dreams. My family is forever grateful for you. Thank God for your friendship

I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Cho’s passing! She was always a joy at Westwood! I didn’t get to interact with her much, as we were in different areas of the building, but when I did she would light up the day! I know she had a lasting impact on all who encountered her, and she will be greatly missed! Sincere sympathy to her family- you are all in my thoughts and prayers! Rest in Peace, Mrs. Cho!
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mother was always the first, best, and cheerfulest person greeting us at RNE. She was a sincerely welcoming person there and at home. Our thoughts are with you —
My deepest and most sincere condolences go out to the Cho family. Mrs. Gloria Cho has been like an “aunty” to me here at Westwood. She has always been a wealth of information and wisdom to me. The loss of her is deeply felt. At my lowest, she has been a source of uplifting and speaking life into others. Thank you for sharing your mother with us.
I ask for healing for the Cho family. Healing from loss and grief. She will be missed. She is loved. She has left a legacy of community, care, and stewardship.

It’s heart breaking to hear about the loss of such a wonderful person. Mrs. Cho, you will greatly be missed. You were always such a great listener and I always loved to hear your stories of the grand babies in the mornings at Westwood.
Your Westwood family will always be missing you.
Sending you all the love and hugs we can. You’ll stay in our prayers during this hard time. She was an amazing woman.
Boss Lady and your Food Lion family are here for you. Sending condolences to your family and friends during this time.
To Paige & Amber-We are saddened to hear about the passing of your BELOVED mother. Paige was a classmate & close friend of our son (Quentin) & eight other students during middle & high school. During this time, the group of friends would on occasions get together at our house to socialize. As adults now, they are still close friends & frequently get together. In fact, the group of friends got together last summer at Quentin’s house in Chicago. Therefore, thanks to Mrs. Cho for allowing Paige to be a part of this group of lifelong friends. May God provide Paige & Amber the strength to endure this difficult time. We will keep you in our thoughts & prayers. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 REST IN PEACE Mrs. Cho. Robert & Adrienne Youmans
Paige and Amber
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I only met your mom a few times but the joy she had was something you saw as soon as you met her. I see that joy in each of you. Please continue to hold onto each other and the rest of the family as you go thru this process. Also, know there are many prayers being said on your behalf.
Dear Mrs Cho i am sorry for your loss you was my favorite Iss teacher at school i am really going to miss you so much i hope Haven treat you well we all going to miss you so much and we love you so much i am sad because you died and i am so sorry for your loss.
Condolences to the Fennell and Cho family for your loss. I cannot fully express the sadness and sorrow I feel for the loss of my dear friend Gloria Cho. When we last spoke on Valentines Day it felt like we were visiting. Now all who love you must face life without your friendship but we know you are resting in GOD’s everlasting peace.
Ms. Cho , words can’t describe how much you impacted my life and gave me advice on certain things and helped me view my situations differently. I will never forget “don’t put yourself down for that , what are you crazy”. I missed or talks before classes started or ruining errands for you. My heart is completely shattered. But ms.chop I hope you have a good rest and I hope you remember that we love you an miss you..
my condolences to the family
My deepest sympathy and condolences and prayers to the family and relatives and friends.
I knew Mrs. Cho at Richland Northeast High School and Westwood High School. She was an amazing person and I had such respect for her. I am broken-hearted that she has passed on to Heaven. I think God must have needed her help with some unruly angels and I have no doubt that she will get them sorted out just as she did with the school study hall. I will miss you, my dear Mrs. Cho. God bless you.
Thinking of you during this difficult time. Mrs Cho had wonderful way for making students feel seen, including my two sons who truly appreciated her guidance. Beyond the classroom , I’ll always remember her warmth and fun we had at school cookouts. Seeing her light up over a plate of shrimp at the country boils or the BBQ sauce I would bring her is how I will always remember her- full of joy and life. She will be greatly missed
Praying for our family during this difficult time of loss. We will certainly miss the antics of the INFAMOUS GLO CHO!
Rest easy Cousin, we know you are in good hands.
I am so saddened to hear about your passing. I will forever miss you! Thank you for always “being you”. My condolences and prayers of comfort for your family. “KEEP DANCING IN HEAVEN”! Rest in Eternal Peace!
Rest Well Mrs.Cho!
Ms. Fennell, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I pray that God’s loving presence comfort you, His perfect peace restore you, and His promise of eternal life sustain you during this time of loss.
Ms. Fennell and family,
You my sincere heartfelt sympathies for the loss of your mom. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Losing a parent is heartbreaking. Her legacy will live on through you. Praying God will give you strength, peace, and the gentle comfort your heart needs. “God will tenderly comfort you.” II Corinthians 1:7
I’m so heartbroken to hear of Mrs. Cho’s passing. She truly had a heart of gold! We ran into each last year at the grocery store and had the best conversation. I will hold on to that for years to come! Rest in Power Queen!
I am so sorry to hear of Mrs Cho’s passing! I saw her last month at the Richland Two Retirees Luncheon and it was great to catch up with her. She was a delight to work with at Westwood and will be greatly missed. She always talked about her family and I pray for your comfort.
Amber, Paige, and Family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved mother! I am praying for your strength and that God cradles you in his arms of love!
A Fellow Knight Classmate will be missed. My sincere condolences and prayers to the family for your loss. Peace and Blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I am deeply saddened to hear of this loss. Ms. Cho was truly a wonderful person whose kindness, warmth, and spirit touched so many lives. Her presence will be greatly missed, but her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time. Wishing comfort, peace, and strength to the family.
Ms. Cho,
Words can not fully express my love for you. From the very beginning at RNE you were always so kind to me and my girls. I can not thank you enough for welcoming me into your home and for the way you simply adored my daughters. I was not expecting this and my heart is truly broken. Take your rest now and know that you are loved and will be missed my many! The Subers will always love you❤️
Oh Gloria, I will forever miss hearing your sweet voice and knowing that your calling or visiting me for concern over a student we shared or your genuine concern for me. Your love for those around you and infectious pride, Happiness and love for everyone and an ear to listen will always be remember. May you rest easy in the arms of God.Love you!!!
I love, adore appreciate everything about you. You treated me like a son from the first day we met on the job. You fed me, taught me about district, the school and about South Carolina history. We talked about everything (even movies like Shaka Zulu. & Scarface lol!), we laughed, cried and prayed together. Thank you for being the tough yet loving momma we needed in our Westwood family. We’re better because of you! May God continue to bless your soul forever. I pray your family’s grief is outmatched by experience and joy of your memory. Peace and blessings in Christ’s name.
I will truly miss you, you was my best friend and I will always love you. I will also miss our long conversations almost every day. My condolences to your family. Rest in peace my love.
May you rest in peace. You will always be remembered.
My condolences to the family.
