Throughout her life, she provided her cooking expertise to all types of occasions. Gloria encountered every person with a loving smile and a genuine concern for their happiness.

Gloria’s heart only grew bigger as her family continued to grow. Although her first love fell onto her children, later in life her favorite role was that of a grandparent.

Gloria is survived by son Alvaro, his wife and children; Carolina, Marcela, Eduardo and Juan David – Ana, Homero, Gloria and Adolfo, his wife and children; Mariela, Victor and Ivan. Among hundreds of cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters- Gloria’s efforts were never short of attending birthday events, holy sacraments, baby showers and many more heartfelt and loving events. Gloria was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, godmother, aunt, sister, sister-in-law, mentor and above all – a devout Catholic Christian Woman.
