Poetic Obituaries: [Gloria Oberg] was a passionate and

award-winning writer.

In 1976, she won the Geri Joseph Memorial Bicentennial Playwriting Contest for her one-act play, "Wedding at Camp Douglas." The play was set in the Mineral County mining camp of Douglas, near Mina. When it was performed in Hawthorne, all the proceeds went toward funding a Hawthorne museum.

In 1977, three of her one-act plays--"Pride of Lions," "Hallelujah, I'm a Bum," and "The Crimes of Johanna Altman" were performed at the Sparks Civic Theater.
