Gloria Celis Baeza

Gloria was born in Merida, Yucatan Mexico. The daughter of Esteban Celis and Rafela Turriza. She is survived by her husband of 64 year; Ricardo P. Baeza and their 5 loving children Elisa Baeza Cardenas, Ricardo E. Baeza, Gloria G. Cerda, Julieta Baeza Denton, Francisco B. Baeza and their loving spouses. She was blessed to have 14 grand-children and 8 great-grandchildren.

Gloria attended Catholic schools and was a competitive athlete in volleyball, softball and swimming. She enjoyed playing the trumpet, drums and found time to dance ballet. During her early years of marriage Gloria was fond of riding motorcycles with her loving husband, they traveled and during the summer the family would spend time at the beach. Gloria participated in all of her children's school and social events, a kindness that she later carried on with her grand-children. One of her past-times was knitting, she loved creating them and gifting them to her family and friends. Our family will always cherish the beautiful knitted work that she made with love. Gloria didn't think she was a good cook but her family will say otherwise and many of her recipes are followed by her family.

Gloria had a great sense of humor and was a great friend to many. She never hesitated to offer her help or advice. She always looked forward to visiting Merida to spend time with her sisters, nieces and many friends. Gloria lived her life to the fullest and was thankful for all the blessings from our Lord.

Gloria attended St. Patrick's Church and St. Charles Borromeo Church but once her health declined she was not able to attend in person. Gloria loved our Savior Jesus Christ and was a prayer warrior.

The family will miss her dearly and are Thankful for the most wonderful impact she made in their lives.
