Born in Pembroke, Glorie was the daughter of the late Ernest and Aldea (St. John) Henry. She was raised and educated in Suncook and was a graduate of Pembroke Academy Class of 1945.

Glorie and Butch were longtime faithful communicants of St. John the Baptist Church in Allenstown, where she volunteered counting the weekly collections and at the annual Penny Sale. She also volunteered for Our Family’s Table. She enjoyed knitting, reading and yard sales.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her sisters, Floris H. Lanigan and Goldie H. Lugg and her brother, Lester J. Henry. Glorie is survived by her beloved husband of over 70 years, Richard T. “Butch” LaFond; her daughter, Glorie Anne Jacob and her husband Louis of Pembroke, her granddaughter, Kathy Lavoie and her husband Steve and two great grandchildren, Miles and Teresa Lavoie.
