Gloria Delgado

San Jose, CA

Gloria Viramontes Delgado, born on September 25, 1946 in Santa Paula, CA, entered into rest with her loving family by her side on December 3, 2018 in San Jose. She joins her loving parents Miquel and Inez Viramontes and her savior Jesus Christ.

A loving daughter, mother, grandmother, aunt, niece, sister, cousin and friend. She is survived by her sons: Bobby (Heidi), Rick (Cassi), Ron (Monica), Raul (Connie). She was blessed with her beloved grandchildren: Rachelle, Ron Jared, Raul, Raymond, Joseph, Jake, Lucas, Jesse, Hailey, and her great-grandchildren: Greg, Roman, Andre, Olivia, Inez, Aaliyah, Aubree, Romeo who lovingly called her grandma grape. She is also survived by her siblings: Michael, Danny and Suzie.

Gloria moved to San Jose in her teens where she then graduated from Blackford High School. She was married to Bob Delgado for 30 years and together they raised their children. Her career was in the Semiconductor Equipment Industry in Silicon Valley as a Research and Development Tech and retired after 20 years.

She was an amazing, loving, caring person who touched many lives. She was a remarkable cook, the best tamale maker and enjoyed preparing meals for her family and friends. For many years leading up to her passing, she would spend many hours volunteering her time for those in need. She lived life to the fullest. She was the life of the party with her friendly, outgoing and fun personality. She loved to sing, dance and always had a vibrant smile on her beautiful face that would light up a room. She was hilarious, full of life and told the best stories. She brought joy and laughter everywhere she went. Gloria had many happy memories of her time spent with family and friends and enjoyed spending her time with her friends from the Moose Lodge. We take comfort in knowing that Gloria went home to be with the Lord. Thank you to all her family and friends for their support and prayers.Heaven gained a beautiful sweet angel. She was loved by all who knew her and will be missed. Above all else, Gloria loved and treasured her family. Her favorite phrase was "Te Quiero Mucho."

Gloria's celebration of life will be held Friday, December 21st at 9AM at Our Lady of Guadalupe in Santa Paula. Burial to follow at Pierce Brothers Santa Paula Cemetery.

The last time I saw Gloria Viramontes Delgado was on Veteran Day 11 Nov 2018 at Steckel Park in Santa Paula because they were having a Veteran Day Bar-B-Q for all Veterans. I remember I was standing at front gate of the park trying to get an entrance pass I saw Gloria and she bought a ticket for me I was sure surprised I asked her why? Because you are a U.S Army Veteran thats why? I still have the entrance sub in my truck.
