Gloria Dobbins

Gloria left behind a legacy of warmth, grace, courage, and unconditional love. Born on a winter's day, December 22, 1931, in Anaheim, California to Mario Galindo & Jovita Solis. Gloria was a mother to 6 children, David, Joanne, John Edward, Randy, Gary and Kim, 3 stepchildren, Joseph, Kathy, and Melody, and her foster son John. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.

Gloria's life was a testament to quiet strength and gentle love. Her radiant smile, captured so beautifully here, was a source of light and comfort to everyone who knew her. She found joy in the simple beauty of the world, in a blooming rose, a warm conversation, and the company of her family and friends. She was a foster parent for many years and specialized in the care of drug exposed babies. Her greatest joy in her golden years was working with the children and staff at Allen-Spees Family Homes in Fresno, California. She was known as "The Nurturer" and was employed there full time till she was 80 years old.

Gloria's strong spirit and compassionate heart touched countless lives. She navigated life with elegance and resilience, teaching us the importance of faith in Jesus Christ, kindness, connection, strength, and love.

Though she is no longer with us, her spirit will live on in the cherished memories she created and the love and care she shared so freely. She will be profoundly missed and forever remembered.
