Her husband, Adrian Lee Moreira, Sr was, in her words, her “only love”. Her sister Marilyn was her best friend. Her mother Judy, her rock and where she learned how to love and how to give it. Her baby brother, Fred, was always her protector. She was blessed with a bountiful amount of love in the family and with many friends, for whom she had a special place in her heart for each one. Gloria’s mother always said to her that there was always room for one more in your heart, it’s never too small, and Gloria lived that. So many were dear to her heart and special and she wanted everyone to know that.She is survived by: Her husband Adrian, Sr. Her children Adrian Jr, Shirene and Jeremy.

It truly is a time to rejoice because Jehovah has promised me a better life with all of you. We will only be apart a short while so enjoy your lives, I did. You all deserve the same.”A celebration of Gloria’s life will be held at the Chapel of the Chimes- 32992 Mission Blvd, Hayward, CA on Saturday September 7th at 1:30pm.
