    Norma & Gloria (Monmouth University).
    Condolences.

    Monty wrote from February 1985 to December 1988 and then again from January 1991 until January 1992 with a frequently changing array of co-head writers. In her time with the series, she received three Daytime Emmy nominations and helped create the Luke and Laura supercouple. Her sister Gloria died in 2006.

    According to Soaps In Depth, she died on July 3 at the age of 86 in Reno, NV. Soaps.com sends our condolences to her family and friends.

    My sympathies to Ms. Monty's family and friends.
    Ah, those were the good old days for GH when the Monty sisters were at the helm. A rose for her for helping create the incomparable storyline of Luke and Laura. She will be missed indeed--as is her sister Gloria. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Great dames!
