Gloria grew up in Passaic, NJ the youngest of a large Italian family. Without higher education she ended up being one of the sharpest and most clever women around to help guide her children to succeed on all fronts.
Gloria loved traveling, jigsaw puzzles, cooking, baking, and gardening. Becoming known as the “Dandelion Sheriff” to many for the care of her lawn. She also always had a love of the Jersey Shore, especially Long Beach Island. Gloria strongly relied on her faith and was an active parishioner of St. Rose Catholic Church in Lima, NY.
The family is forever grateful to Patti, Cathy, and Pam, “her companions,” for the love and care they provided to our mom.
