Gloria was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was our teacher, our compass and our guide throughout life. She taught us how to live life passionately, as she did herself, and love each other unconditionally, as she loved us.

She was an advocate for education and taught us to always believe in ourselves and in God. She has left the world a better place and left her mark of love on many of us. Calling hours will be Friday from 3-7 pm at the Mosti Funeral Home, Sunset Chapel, 4435 Sunset Blvd.
