R.I.P., Gloria Henry
April 2, 1923 - April 3, 2021

"It is with great sadness to let of all my dear and amazing mother's fans know that she passed peacefully today at 3:40 PM Pacific Time in her home in Los Angeles, California.
By her side were her oldest son Jeff Ellwood, and her daughter Erin Ellwood and her hospice care nurse Jaye.
My mother's career in Hollywood started in the 1940's, she was a Starlet under contract to Columbia Pictures alongside Marilyn Monroe.
While with Columbia my mother played the female lead in Riders in the Sky and The Strawberry Roan as Gene Autry's leading lady.
Later she was in television in The Files of Jeffrey Jones in the early 50's and later as Mrs Alice Mitchell, her best known and most beloved role in Dennis the Menace, a show many here love and remember.
Please raise a glass and a toast to our beautiful mother Gloria Henry for a life well lived."
--Adam Ellwood, Son❤️
