Gloria Montoya, 81, of Plantsville, Connecticut, passed away on April 14, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Born on May 13, 1944, in Lima, Peru, Gloria will be remembered with deep respect and enduring gratitude by all who knew her.
Throughout her life, Gloria held a place of special meaning in the hearts of others—beloved and cherished not for grand display, but for the steady presence and care that quietly shaped the lives around her. In the ways that mattered most, she was devoted: to her faith, to her community, and to the people who had the privilege of sharing in her days.
