Gloria F. Avalon

Gloria was born on February 6, 1925, the daughter of John and Frances Avalon.

She had a long career working in many capacities in healthcare, and continued to work as an x-ray technician until the age of 84. Gloria was appreciated for her generous nature and wisdom, and was a mentor to many whom she encouraged to further their careers in healthcare.

Gloria instilled a strong work ethic, a value of education, and the joy of shopping in her children and grandchildren.

Cherished grandmother of Paul Cuomo (Lisa), Karen Weilhoefer, Christine Weilhoefer (Patrick), Jennifer Mulvihill (Vinny), Linda Cuomo (Gary), Elizabeth Weilhoefer (Justin), Scott Cuomo (Elena), Lydia Cuomo (Ben), Keri Wolfe (Rob), John Nason (Cassy), Kristen McCann (Brendan), Tom Nason, Samantha Mathur (Puneet), and Abby Thompson (Nick). Gloria is also survived by 13 great-grandchildren, her former daughters-in-law Elaine Cuomo and Maureen Kennedy, her companion Jerry, and many friends who were dear to her. Gloria was predeceased by her son Glenn Cuomo, and her daughter-in-law Paula Cuomo. She will be dearly missed by all.
