Her friends were from all over the world, from Maui, California, Colorado, Wyoming, Las Vegas, India, the Middle East and more. Gloria was not a stranger to anyone, her infectious smile and pure kindness made everyone feel her love. Our mother, grandmother, wife, friend, Bingo partner, swimming friend and just her presence will be missed. She will remain in our hearts.
She is survived by her daughter, Bonnie/Dennis Havlik, grandson, Cavan/Sabrina Havlik, great-grandson, Caden, granddaughter, Jessica/Bryan Redniss great-grandchildren, Tobi and Ronin, granddaughter, Kendra/Matt O'Donnell, great-grandson, Arlo; son, Dan/Julie Siirila, granddaughter, Dayle/Dave Bugalski, great-grandchildren, Owen and Gavin, granddaughter, Miquel/Barry Lewis, granddaughter, Callie Siirila/Jameson; and daughter, Mary/Gerard Trcka, granddaughters, Abbey and Maria.
A celebration of life took place on Saturday, March 29, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Hurley. Visitation began at 9 a.m., and the service was at 10.
"Every day, we will honor your legacy of love and kindness."
Until we meet again,
Aloha.
Your heart was bigger than what you could hold. Your generosity was infectious and unending. You vastly loved beyond any limits. You immensely cherished what you held. You rocked our worlds beyond belief. You lived your life with incredible passion. You infinitely blessed us with you. Oh. How we love you.
Thank you, God, for the gift of Gloria Siirila. May the angels lead you into Paradise.

No one is ever truly gone until the last person speaks their name. Share her stories often and live in the love of your memories with her. Even though I was very small, I remember climbing up on the burro statue in your back yard, and later making the trips up to Ironwood. Love to all.
