Gloria Rocha passed away into the arms of the Lord on March 9, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of faith, kindness, and devotion to her family. She lived with humility, compassion, and a deep trust in God.
Born in Oroville, California, on July 17, 1951, Gloria later moved to Firebaugh, California in 1969. In 1972, she was baptized in the name of Jesus and began a lifelong journey of faith. Her life was rooted in prayer, family, and gratitude for God’s blessings.
She was preceded in death by her beloved parents and her brother and sister.
Gloria is lovingly survived by her brothers, sisters, and many cherished nieces and nephews who will forever remember her love, prayers, and faithful spirit.
Though she will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing she now rests in the Lord’s peace.
