Gloria celebrated life. Everyone that knew her loved her. She had a tenacious personality and was a fighter until the very end. She loved to entertain people. Dinner parties were Gloria’s staple in bringing good times and memories together with laughter amongst friends and family.

Gloria was a professional entertainer. She took part and taught many types of dance. From tap (her favorite), ballet, and jazz, to flamenco and hula, she immersed herself in her passion. Her contagious spirit proved her continuous popularity to be recruited for work.

Gloria loved to act. She took part in many theatrical productions. If she could be on broadway, she would. Going to the theatre became a tradition and it never got old.

When time permitted, she loved to travel. She knew if the opportunity presented itself, she always decided to take it. “You only live once”, she would say. And she lived.

Gloria was a volunteer and joined many local clubs. She organized fundraisers and contributed countless hours of her time. She always put others before herself and never complained.

Gloria was married to Nicholas for 59 years. Everlasting.
