Gloria worked hard for and proudly received her cosmetology license in the early 1970's and went on to have a very successful career as a beautician, including winning many awards. After retiring from cosmetology, she managed Sally's Beauty Supply in Montclair for several years. She moved to Washington in 1997, where she married David Garcia. She loved the beauty of the State and the rainy weather and remained there with David until her passing. Those who knew her would agree she had a beautiful singing voice and sounded just like Edie Gorme. Throughout her life, she touched the lives of many who considered her a surrogate mother and grandmother. She had a huge heart and throughout her life, would open her home to those in need of a place to stay. She was known in her apartment complex for making Thanksgiving dinner for anyone who didn't have a place to go. She never met a stranger. She was an avid crafter and could make art out of anything. She left her family a lifetime of drawings, and mementos to cherish. She had a great sense of humor and had the ability to make you laugh even when she wasn't trying. She enjoyed reading her bible and making her daily phone calls to family and friends. She loved her animals Precious, Coco, Peanut and Bella dearly and was an avid Seattle Mariners fan. Her legacy to serve others lives on in her children and grandchildren.
