Gloria June Licastro passed away peacefully on Friday, May 15, 2015 surrounded by her family. She was born on May 27, 1927, in Huntingdon, PA to the late Mabel V. and Benjamin F. Prendergast.

Gloria is a 1945 graduate from Huntingdon High School. She married Pasquale H. Licastro following his graduation from Juniata College. They moved with their daughter, Carla to State College to start their life together. Gloria began continuing her education at Penn State University until the birth of her second child, Patrick, who was born with special needs.

Gloria selflessly put her aspirations aside to raise her family. She was an accomplished equestrian and a member of the Lemont Drama Club and the Conasta Club.

Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband in 1996 and one brother, Benjamin Prendergast.

She is survived by her devoted daughter, Carla Bressler and husband Huling, of Dillsburg, her son, Patrick Licastro of Boalsburg; three grandsons, Christopher Danneker and his partner, Stan Tipton of Mechanicsburg, Patrick Danneker and his wife Mary of Elizabethtown, and Michael Danneker and his wife Erica of Bellefonte. She has four great grandchildren who she adored immensely, Jared, Maggie, Gaven and Anthonino; and one brother, Richard Prendergast of Duncansville.

The family is having a private service and she will be buried in Huntingdon with her family.
