Gloria Fazio Obituary
Oceanport - Gloria Jean Fazio passed away on August 14, 2020. Born on September 21, 1944, raised in Passaic, NJ, beloved daughter of the late Frank Capra and Cesira Salmaggi.
After marrying the love of her life, Dominic, they relocated to the Jersey Shore, settling in Asbury Park, NJ to raise their family.
Gloria lit up every room she walked into with her infectious smile and embraced all with warm hugs and kisses. She was a neighborhood Mom with a watchful eye and welcomed everyone into her home with open arms. There was always a seat at her table, an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. Her words of wisdom resonated with many. She was very spiritual and relied heavily on her faith and prayers.
Gloria loved animals, the beach in her younger days and singing to her pets and grandchildren, specifically "You Are My Sunshine". Most of all, she loved spending time with her family. Gloria's children and grandchildren were the light of her life, made her heart beat strong and were her true pride and joy. She considered her family her greatest accomplishment in life and leaves behind beautiful memories.
Gloria is survived by loving family Dominic Fazio, sister Maria Palazzone, daughter Lisa Bruno (Jim Bruno), daughter Dina Fazio, son Jason Fazio & daughter-in-law Barbara, grandchildren, Gia Holly-Hill (Tori), Christy, Nicholas, Michael, Nate and Carla, great-grandchildren, Julia and Carson, lifelong friend (sister) Dolores Valente, loving dog Fredo, loving birds, Santino and Sofia and many, many loving family members, nieces, nephews and friends. She will be dearly missed by all those whose lives she touched.
Sincere thanks and gratitude to Dr. Angelo Chinnici and his caring staff.

My deepest condolences to Gloria's family. To anyone that knew her, she became their shining light and to me a special friend and a substitute mom. Her words of wisdom brought me through some tough times and at the same time managed to put a smile on my face . Her love for her family was immense and she cherished every moment with them. She embraced all those who entered her life, without bias or judgement. A true angel on earth, she'll be so missed.
