Gloria Lenore Pollard
Born in Cripple Creek, Colorado, to Wm and Lenore Kyner, she was raised in Colorado; first in Cripple Creek, then Denver and at age 14 she and her mother moved to the oil field “boom town” of Rangely, on the western slope, where Lenore started The Rangely Times. At the end of WWII she met the brother of a classmate, Troy Ross “Buck” Pollard, just returning from war, whom she married a year later at the age of 16. Buck and Gloria were constant companions, raising three girls and owning and running several businesses in the Rangely area: Pollard Trucking, B&M Services, Rockvale Construction, Parkview Anpartments and Mobile Home Park, and the “Rector” and “Hefley” cattle ranches. In later years they owned and operated Pollard’s Ute Lodge, a 700 acre guest ranch on the edges of the White River National Forest. Retirement took them to Arizona in the winter, where they enjoyed many years of jeeping, rock hunting and get-togethers with their many friends, and summers in Grand Juction, Colorado, where they ran a small ranch with their grandson, Josh. Health issues had them eventually settling in Marble Falls, Texas. Gloria was preceeded in death by her husband, of 70 years, Buck Pollard, her oldest daughter Terry “Pepper” Ott Nimon, and her son’s-in-law: Alan “AJ” Nimon, Bill Anderson and Philip Chandler. She is survived by her daughters Troya “Kathy” Anderson Lightman (Bryan), NV and Londa Chandler, TX, and honorary son Tom (Colleen) Peterson, CO, as well as grandchildren: Joshua Ott, Nathan (Vicki) & Ryan (Michele) Anderson, Denver (Annie), Christopher (Marie), Donovan (Emily) & Dalton Chandler and Jancie Russell; 16 great grandchildren and 2 great, great grandchildren. Gloria was an avid seamstress, finding her calling with Creative Hearts Ministry where she did the binding on hundreds of quilts to gift to the area nursing homes, veteran hospitals, police departmets and soldiers. She was also very active in Burnet County Republican’s, manning booths at the area festivals, block walking and working elections well into her 90’s. She left this world surrounded by her loving family, and is “dancing across heaven” (Alan Jackson) with the love of her life. A family Celebration of Life is being planned for this summer.
