Glorian was born in Warden, Wash. to Gotlieb and Salome Schutz on Oct. 6, 1924. She went to high school at Warden High School and graduated in 1941. Glorian was a lead singer in a band that traveled on the West Coast along with her first husband, Bill Sulser. After Bill's unfortunate premature death, she married Frank Galfano. Frank and Glorian settled in the Columbia Basin and operated restaurants for 35 years. Together, they opened The Roma Inn 1 & 2 (Moses Lake), bought the Blue Haven converting it to Galfano's (Ephrata) and went on to open Zack's Pizza Parlor (Quincy). She loved to sing songs of the big band era, "get prettied up", swing dance to Glen Miller, Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey and read historical romance novels.

After retirement, Glorian focused her energy on her family making incredible memories for her children, grandchildren and new friends at the family cabin in Plain, Wash.
