Gloria Bayba Case

Gloria Bayba Case, age 85, went to be with the Lord peacefully surrounded by family members at the Koss Senior Facility, Buena Park, California, on September 9, 2022.  She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend.

Gloria was born in the Philippines to Crispulo and Tarcila Mateo Bayba on January 25, 1937.  Gloria met her husband at Subic Bay Naval Base in Olongapo where she worked as a babysitter, taking care of two young children, whose father was a medical doctor. A phone call came in for the doctor and she happened to answer the phone, and once he heard her voice on the phone he immediately fell in love and had to meet her.  The gentleman in question was Vernon M. Case.  Soon after Gloria and Vernon met and dated, they were married in 1963 and then they were transferred to San Diego, California.  They traveled extensively, due to his military career and had six children, which were later raised in Oxnard, California.  Her beloved husband, Vernon, passed away in 1983.  He left a legacy of unconditional love and devotion.

Gloria was a retired federal employee.  She loved to play bingo with her friends, loved to travel to visit family in the Philippines, and visit her children and grandchildren that moved out of state or overseas.

Gloria is predeceased by her beloved husband, Vernon M. Case, her parents, Crispulo and Tarcila Mateo Bayba, and five brothers and four sisters.  She is remembered and cherished by her six children and their spouses:
