Normile, Gloria S.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Gloria Silvia Normile, 89, of St. Augustine, Florida, passed away peacefully, on January 30, 2026, at Coral Landing Assisted Living.
Gloria was born in Troy, N.Y., the daughter of Dewey M. And Victoria Gorski DelSignore Sr. Gloria grew up in Watervliet, N.Y. In 1957, she married the love of her life, Thomas Normile. Together they raised their family in Watervliet, where they built a life centered on hard work, community, and family.
For many years, Gloria worked at the Watervliet Arsenal, and later served as a secretary for New York Governor Mario Cuomo, a role she took great pride in. She was also an active member of the Schuyler Heights Auxiliary Fire Department in Watervliet, reflecting her strong commitment to service and community.
After the passing of her husband in 1998, Gloria retired to St. Augustine, where she embraced life fully. Throughout her life she enjoyed bowling, skiing, spending time at the beach and any time spent with family and friends. She enjoyed travels and new adventures, especially with her sisters. Known for her fearless spirit, Gloria once drove across the country solo, a testament to her adventurous and bold nature.
Above all, Gloria cherished her family. She was loving, generous, and deeply devoted and always had time for those she cared about. A true animal lover, she held a special place in her heart for her beloved grand puppy, Porter.
