Gloria Troutt Obituary
Gloria Mae Elkins Troutt passed away on November 14, 2020, age 84, surrounded by family, at her beloved Troutt Ranch in Tularosa, NM, after a long and heart-rending struggle with Alzheimer's disease.
She married Paul William Troutt in June 1954. Paul passed away in October 2017, after 63 years of marriage to Gloria.
Gloria found her greatest joy in her family and she served as a role model of love and devotion for her children and grandchildren to follow. Gloria is survived by her sister, Geraldine Rule, two sons, Jeffery Troutt (Helen), and Christopher Troutt (Mary Beth), five grandchildren, Brittany Riddle (Diallo), Ashley Troutt, ReBecca Richey (Naashukwa), Hannah Troutt, and Samuel Troutt, and six great-grandchildren.
A celebration of Mom/Granny/Gloria's life will be held at Troutt Ranch on November 28, 2020. Contact the family for more information.

Gloria was such a vibrant woman! I was blessed to know her when we both attended St. John's Episcopal Church. She was full of life and vivaciousness. It always made Sunday a happier day when I encountered her.
Rest in peace, Gloria.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. I fondly remember Gloria and Paul dancing at our wedding! What a great time we had. We were in real estate together during the 80’s and early 90’s. I learned a lot from her! She will be greatly missed! Love, Michele Gorman-Nevins and Dr Richard Nevins

A beautiful tribute to your Mom. Whether family or friend, she inspired all to live their best life. I will be forever grateful for the love and guidance she so freely gave me. My family and her Sister, Jeri, will miss her and always celebrate her life.
