Gloria Milstein Flanzer, a committed philanthropist whose family was one of the most powerful in New York City development circles, was married for 66 years to her husband, Louis Flanzer.  The couple had a home in Scarsdale, New York, but tended to spend more time on Longboat Key than up north and were known for their willingness to contribute to causes that were personally important to them in their adopted Sarasota community. Gloria died in 2015 and Louis died in 2013.  The Flanzer Philanthropic Trust continues to support our community activities through their matching program.
