Gloria Campos Rodriguez

In Loving Memory of “La Mama”

On February 12, 2023, our beloved Mother, Gloria, was called to be with the Lord at the age of 86. Born in Laredo, Texas, Gloria started working at the age of 16 during a time when women did not usually work out of the home. After graduating early from Martin High School, she worked at the Laredo Times where she met her lifelong husband of over 60 years. Gloria started her federal service career as a civil servant working at the Laredo Air Force Base. In 1973, when the air force base was closed, the family moved to San Antonio, Texas. Gloria continued her federal service career as a supervisor with the Department of Defense at Fort Sam Houston within the Patient Administration Services and Biostatistics Activity, QBS Branch. Her office staff provided for the Army worldwide statistics, until she retired with over 30 years of federal service.
