Preceded in death by her husband Pete, her son Tom, her parents Manuel and Annie Mendez and her sister Ida (Johnny) Oliva.
Survived by her son Rick (Karen) Spinuzzi, and her daughter in-law Theresa (Randy) Edwards. Her grandchildren, Rene ( Rick) Burgess, Kristal Spinuzzi, Kyle Spinuzzi (Tori Barrett), Ryan Spinuzzi, Carrie (John) Chase and Steven Spinuzzi. Her great grandchildren, Kaylie and Jordyn Algien, Lexi Spinuzzi, Austin and Amber Chase, and special god-daughters Charlene Marino and Rita Olivia. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and her special neighborhood friends, Pat Sais and Phyllis Caffey.
Gloria was raised in Pueblo by her loving parents and soon went on to meet the love of her life, Pete Spinuzzi. They married and had two sons, Tom and Rick Spinuzzi.
Gloria, was not only a great mother, she was kind, she was loving, she was an awesome cook, she loved the outdoors, camping and fishing. As time went on, her sons grew up and started families of their own. She lost her dear husband Pete and later on lost her son Tom. She stayed in her little house for quite sometime after they passed.
As time continued, her family could tell her memory was starting to fade and they decided to bring her home to live with them so they could take care of her. Theresa and Randy also took her home with them and then eventually back home with her son Rick, so all of the family could share her last days with her.
At the age of 91, Gloria joined her husband Pete and her son Tom in a heavenly reunion up above. She absolutely adored her grandchildren and she will be dearly missed by all.
While her loved ones hearts are broken, they know their dear sweet mother and grandmother is no longer in pain and is at peace.
-Mama, we love you, we will never forget you. Thank you for loving us.
-Love Your Family
