Gloria was born in Vinton, Iowa, on Feb. 16, 1953, to Eddie and Kathryn (Pippert) Ocheltree. She graduated from Dysart-Geneseo High School and attended the University of Iowa. Gloria married John Albert in May of 1983 in Iowa City. The couple moved to Indianapolis in 1985, at which time Gloria began working in the health insurance business.
