A loving mother and homemaker, Gloria was a remarkable cook and enjoyed preparing meals for her family and friends, most especially over the holidays and football games. For many years leading up to her passing, she was very close to her churches and loved all and any type of flowers. She loved to watch news channels during her spare time. She was a dedicated Green Bay Packers fan and attended many local college football and basketball (UTEP) games as well. Gloria was an active member in two of the churches that she would volunteer over the years. Gloria not only was a homemaker but she had her own flower shop that she loved and worked so hard to provide the best service to her customers.
