The Story

Gloria J. Tarango, a former resident of San Diego, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on May 13, 2015 in Stockton, California. Gloria was born in El Paso, Texas on March 15, 1930. She was preceded in death by her husband Oscar and son Abel.

Gloria was a loving mother to David, Ruben (Paula), Abel, Oscar, Victor (Lora), Elizabeth, Christina (Gary), grandmother to Vincent (Christine), Austin (Lindsey), Dylan, Summer, Danielle, and Francisco, great-grandmother to Willem and Grayson, and aunt to numerous nephews and nieces. Gloria was also a grandmother to her extended Bradley, Gordinier and Velez families.

Gloria expressed unconditional love for her family and friends. She had a gentle and caring spirit. She was an open and accepting person and set an example for all of us with her compassion for others and gift of forgiveness. We will all miss her gentle spirit, humor, compassion and unconditional love.

Gloria was a devout Catholic and a member of the Mission San Diego parish, where she was a Eucharistic Minister and volunteer.

Rest in eternal peace Dear Mother, Grandmother and Friend.
