Gloria Stanley, Co-Webmaster

Graduated from Detroit College of Business with an Associate’s Degree in Business Management promoted to Employee Relations Administrator in 1983. Retired after 33 years from Henkel Corporation in 2003 as the Employee Data Manager and the Corporate Fleet Manager; responsible for 800+ company vehicles. I truly loved my HR job and working with all levels of employees and as a partner with our Payroll Analyst. Being a fleet manager was interesting and I enjoyed taking care of all the sales and tech service folks, making sure they maintained their vehicles. I so enjoyed assisting employees at all levels and the technical end of my duties including managing employee data relating to everything including manpower reports, demographics, organizational charts & working with Executives and Managers insuring that the reporting structures were correct, trained new supervisors on salary planning & performance guidelines.
My Mother and moved to “Royal Oak in 1975, shortly after we joined First Church & she joined the Choir and the “Keen Agers” I became a Sunday School Teacher for the “little ones” and enjoyed it very much.

I have served as a Deacon of First Church for 6 years, on the Communications Committee for 3 years, the Sanctuary enhancement committee, and the policy book committee.
