Gloria was a very smart classmate and neighbor. She could beat anyone in Spelling and grammar. A true friend and can not be forgotten. Always in my heart. RIP

A few days ago our family lost the strongest and most loved woman I know. Jessika Moreno referred to her appropriately as the patriarch of our family, Nana Gloria. She was the epitome of a true warrior who constantly overcame great odds including dementia for 14 years, even though she was only given 2-3 years when originally diagnosed. There are too many words and memories to share.   Nana will be missed more than she can ever know, she now watches from above as she walks the heavens.

Last week my family and I had to say our final goodbyes to the strongest woman we all know. It still seems so unreal. My Nana Gloria will forever be missed and all we have left to cherish are the memories we’ve created and the amazing stories to share. She is the OG Orozco and she’s One hell of a warrior. She defeated all odds that were thrown her way and continued to amaze everyone around her. She was battling Dementia and Alzheimer’s for more than 10 years. God blessed us with more years to spend with her and blessed her with the strength to fight every day. One of the most unforgettable moments I had with my nana was when I was younger, when I was little we took a family vacation to Disneyland and we all went on the ‘Haunted Mansion’ ride. That was the day I found out I HATED THAT RIDE and I freaked out and I was able to wait outside. My nana took me outside and I was crying and she asked me if I wanted popcorn and of course I said yes. She told me to wait on the bench and she will be back. Y’all, I was like 5 years old sitting on a bench ALL ALONE in Disneyland. I was thankful I wasn’t dumb enough to get lost otherwise I would’ve lost my popcorn. I pray everyday that she’s having an amazing time in Heaven with her husband and enjoying the Casino all day and night. I pray that she is looking down at us and protecting all of her children, grand children, and great grandchildren. Nana, I’m going to miss the days where you, buff, and I would take trips to goodwill and you fighting with me because you wouldn’t want to do your physical therapy and you telling me, “to hell with the exercises”. I’ll make sure none of your “boyfriends” sneak into your window at the same time so they don’t have to fight over you. I miss you. I love you. I’m blessed to have had you in my life. Fly high and rest in paradise my angel.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this incredible woman. My Nana was amazing, caring, loving, and hilarious. She was so strong, and will be incredibly missed. It was an absolute blessing to have you as a Nana. Thank you for everything you've ever done for us. Sleep well.

My Nana has completed her time here on earth and is now living her best life with the big guy upstairs. You’ve loved me harder than anyone ever has and you never gave up on me when everyone else did. No mater what decisions I made, you still made sure I knew you loved me and wouldn’t leave my side. I bet you’re happy seeing Tata again. I’ll miss hearing you say “my beautiful girl” every time I walked in your room.

I’ve never met anyone who challenged death the way my grandmother did. We watched you put up a fight until your very last breath. Any ounce of strength in you, you surely used. You will ALWAYS be remembered for many reasons. I will definitely miss your humor, especially the naughty humor. We all know you couldn’t help yourself! Lol you are loved and already missed. RIP nana Gloria

My Nana Gloria left this life on September 19, 2018. She raised me and my brother since we were babies. I can't put into words how deeply saddened I am that she's gone. I'll always miss and remember her. RIP Nana.

No one is ever truly prepared for tragic news. I was seriously certain and convinced I was ready, but today proved me very wrong. My family is deeply saddened about my Nana Gloria's passing today. As many of you know, she has been suffering from dementia for some time now. We are however relieved that her passing was peaceful and painless. Info on funeral arrangements will be established soon. Rest now Nana. Izeyah and I love you so much. Thank you for EVERYTHING!

Oh Nana, these past couple of months sure have been a roller coaster ride. You beat every timeline and beat every odd thrown at you. You were an AMAZINGLY strong woman and no one can say anything different. Words cannot describe how much I am going to miss you, how much the family is going to miss you. You were the backbone to this family. I’m going to miss that smile of yours so much. I’m going to miss our late night conversations when we both couldn’t sleep, I’m going to miss our little dates we used to go on for Valentine’s Day, your birthday, or those just because ones, I’m going to miss sneaking off to the casino and spending all day or night there when we had no business there in the first place. I’m going to miss having dinner with you even if you didn’t eat the dinner just the desserts. I’m going to miss the little things like hearing the fridge open at 3 am and hearing you grab grapes. I am still in disbelief that you are gone. I know you are in a better place, but I do not want to accept it for my selfish reasons. I love you so much Nana, thank you for all the countless memories, the advice, being the shoulder to lean and cry on, and thank you the most for helping raise me into who I am today. Say hello to everyone else up there for all of us. Love you and miss you.

Well Gloria we laid you to rest just over a week ago.  Your celebration of life service was so beautiful and you were surrounded by family and friends.   We had your favorite Elvis songs playing during the viewing like you requested 
from  Vanessa and Ale.  The house is  very different without you here.  I still out of habit want to go in your room and check in on you.   I couldn't have wished for better mother-in-law and you and Albert always treated me as your own daughter. I will always cherish all the memories over the past 34 years. Your stubbornness and strong will is a trait that will continue to live on in our family.  You are not confined to your bed  anymore and can eat all the Chinese food you want!  Rest easy now.

This is to my mom.  Its hard for me to believe your not here in the house anymore. I still come home wanting to go in your room and check on you when I get home. Boy did we have some interesting conversations mostly funny and good and a few not so good. If it wasnt for your teaching and example I wouldn't be the good parent I am today. You definitely taught me loyalty to my family and the value of good ole fashion butt beating when deserved. I will always remember dinner time and your attitude on eating dinner before dessert.  I most definitely miss you mom and wish you had a better end then what you were given.  I will always remember you never giving up and hope I am half as strong as you showed us. I love you mom.

Mom, thank you for all of the love and sacrifices you made for us. You were a great and one-of-a-kind mother who who possessed one of the best senses of humor anyone will ever see. You were so hard-working, so dedicated, and had an unbelievable will to live and take care of your kids. You were always there for us and gave us everything you could.

Mom, thank you for everything and we love you for all time. 
Your son Alex Orozco Sr.


This spunky and feisty little lady will surely be missed by all who knew her! Always quick to respond to anything or anyone that came her way, she left this earth on her terms, she was a genuine and opinionated person who said what she wanted when she wanted. Thank you for accepting me and Dezirae into your humble home with open arms and lots of love.  I can honestly say that I was very lucky to be part of the Orozco family, I will cherish every memory we as a family have with you! I couldn't have ask for a better mother in law.  Rest in Heavenly Peace Gloria, you will forever be in our hearts and we love you to infinity and beyond!
