The Gors Connection…
Mary.. or better known to
most, by the name of MOMA GORS.. when
she passed, we had to put in the title part..
Mary L. (MOMA) Gors…
Mary had an interesting
life.. before she met her husband, she sang on the radio.. an almost operatic
like voice. She also worked for Levi, making jeans.
She married her husband and
live in
They raised 4 boys and one
girl. Sadly there is only two boys
left.
I met Moma before my husband
Marv had passed. Her second oldest son was Marv’s best friend. We would go to
their house to have dinner and watch movies.
Moma’s husband had passed a year before we settled in
It would be hard to find
anyone who went to the IGA store that did not know Moma … as she would hold court at the restaurant
there for many years.. her son worked for the Spokane International/Union
Pacific railroad across the street from the IGA. Before I got my job, he would
take her in twice a week and drop her off, on his way to work.. After I got my job, I would take her
in.. She was my friend.
And you didn’t need to be
right there to know she was in the store, as she had a laugh that everyone
would recognize. She was a very proud Portuguese woman. All 4 foot 8 inches of her.. Her laughter was contagious. But she was no one’s fool.. and if she had
something on her mind, you knew it fast.
Her daughter was her pride
and joy… and she loved her son’s but she
never let them get away with anything..
It was funny to see her get on to…. especially number 2 son… (who I came
to marry) as he is 6 feet tall, and remember I told you, she was 4’8”… and she
would stand toe to toe with him, ripping him up one side and down the other,
while punching him … But she totally
loved her sons and daughter more than life itself.. God bless… Moma, hope you and your sons and
daughter are together up there watching over us.
