Gloria Barrera

Gloria Barrera, 76, of El Paso, TX, passed away Saturday, October 11, 2014 surrounded by family. Originally from Chihuahua, Mexico, Gloria came to the U.S. in 1977. Through hard work, Gloria gave her children a life significantly different from her own meager beginnings. She worked for Farrah and retired from the garment industry in 1990. Gloria loved tending to her garden, filled with trees and plants and shared her joy with all those who visited. She attended mass and participated in weekly rosary prayer sessions. She ensured all the children knew their prayers and taught life lessons through example; with dignity, compassion, and humility. Her faith and strong Christian values were evident in her kind and selfless service to others. She was an active member of Little Flower Catholic Church and often volunteered in the church kitchen. Known as “Pavin” to her friends and family, Gloria was beloved by all. She was considered a second mom by nieces and nephews and maintained life-long bonds with friends and neighbors. In her passing, Gloria joins her husband, Jesus Morales, who passed in 2009. She is survived by her children: Rogelio, Gilberto, Norma, and Concepcion: her siblings: Amelia, Alicia, and Daniel. Visitation will be from 5:00 to 9:00 pm Wednesday, October 15, 2014 with a Vigil Service at 7:00 pm. Funeral Mass will be at 11:30 am Thursday, October 16, 2014 at Little Flower Catholic Church.
