Who was the Honorable Gloria Timmons?

As a founding member of the Greater Nashua Area Branch NAACP in 2007, Gloria Timmons served for several years as President and remained actively involved as Chair of the Membership Committee. In 2024 she was honored with our Lifetime Community Service Award in recognition of her extraordinary dedication and leadership.

Gloria’s record of service to the community was both impressive and enduring. A resident of Nashua since 1990, she served as Nashua Alderwoman-at-Large at the time of her passing. Previously, she was a member of the Nashua Board of Education. Her distinguished public service career also included 22 years as an active-duty member of the United States Army. Following her military service, she served as Assistant Director of the New Hampshire Employment Security office until her retirement.

Gloria was a steadfast champion of the underserved and a tireless advocate for education. She led by example through her active participation in numerous community organizations, including the Nashua Community Conversation on Race & Justice, the Nashua Lions Club, and many others. Her life embodied service above self, principled leadership, and an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of others.

In recognition of her legacy, dedication, and profound impact on our community, we are honored to dedicate the GNAB scholarship in the name of the Honorable Gloria J. Timmons, ensuring that her spirit of service and commitment to opportunity will continue to inspire future generations.
