Sulema was loved greatly by all that knew her. For many years, Sulema ran an in home daycare and informally adopted many children and grandchildren into her family. In her final years, she loved spending her time with her great-grandson, going to his soccer and t-ball games or more importantly, their Target runs. She loved watching him play in her living room with all of his dad’s toys. She also loved taking strolls through stores with her daughter Kelli, and going out to eat with her son Stephen. She looked forward to visit from her grandsons Hutch and Sawer and was extremely proud of grandchildren Colton, Kennedy and Keegan and their accomplishments in college and looking forward to their graduation and successful life.
Sulema is preceded in death by her loving husband, Raymond (Ray) Gleich; parents Jose and Leonarda Mata; her brother Orlando Mata, and Sister Audelia Mata; and her best friend Melba Tatum.
