Gloria lived a life shaped by faith, resilience, and a deep devotion to the people she loved. Her gentle spirit and steady strength were gifts she shared generously with her family and all who knew her.

Born on May 22, 1956, in Eagle Pass to Jose Berumen and Juana Salas, Gloria grew up surrounded by the values that would guide her entire life, faith, family, and service. She graduated from Highlands High School in San Antonio before proudly serving in the United States Air Force, where she carried herself with honor and dedication.

Gloria built a meaningful career as an Executive Assistant with the Department of Treasury, retiring in 2008. Her professionalism, loyalty, and quiet grace left a lasting impression on colleagues and friends alike.

On March 12, 2016, she married Rodolfo Saldana in Carrizo Springs, where they shared a life rooted in companionship, community, and faith. Gloria is preceded in death by Rodolfo and her beloved mother, Juana Salas.

She leaves behind a family who adored her and carry her love forward every day. Gloria is survived by her sisters, nieces, nephews, first spouse, Balvin Garcia, Jr., and their children: Balvin John Garcia (Alexandra), Venita Garcia, Gaiton Berumen Garcia (Katheron).

Her grandchildren, Alexcia, Mia, Madelyn, Charlotte, and Isabella, and her great-grandchildren Jaxson, Oliver, and Sophia were the light of her life. She cherished every moment with them, celebrating their milestones, encouraging their dreams, and loving them with her whole heart.
