Before her passing, Gloria lived a full life. She went to John Marshall Junior High where she met her beloved husband, Basilio Castro Jr. After a long courtship during High School San Jacinto High, Gloria said yes! Together, they celebrated 56 years of marriage on July 31st of 2022. Gloria worked at Texas Instruments for 20 years and retired as an audit clerk. This position allowed her to travel to places like New York, Michigan, Chicago, and Detroit. She then got a position at the City of Houston Municipal Courts as a Customer Service Representative where she worked for 15 years and retired. She had fond memories of her colleagues and especially enjoyed their after hours socializing. Gloria was a woman with many hobbies including dancing and sowing. She loved watching baseball, especially the Astros. She was also in a bowling league with her husband that she had the honor naming "Los Traviesos". Although Gloria did not like to cook, she enjoyed making her children their favorite dish, Hamburger Helper. Gloria was a devoted wife, mother, aunt, daughter, sister, and friend. “Always loved… never forgotten… forever missed.”

Castro III, Raymond R. and wife Elvia Castro, and Bernadette Castro-Islas and husband Raymond; her sister Mary H. Perfecto; her grandchildren Carmella R. Castro, Jessica S. Castro, Tatiana S.
