Gloria was a goal oriented person who as an adult enrolled in college to pursue her dream of a college degree. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Cal State, Stanislas. Her degree was in Bilingual/Multicultural Education. She later earned a Master's degree from San Jose State University.

She was active in numerous local clubs and found time to volunteer at the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival fundraiser, painting flowers and butterflies on children's faces.

Her greatest joy was her family. She is survived by her daughter, Cynthia Mendivil Eyler, son-in-law Dennis Eyler, and her son Steven's children Sarah Mendivil Coon and Dominic Mendivil-Hill.
At age 90 years, she has come to the end of a long, fulfilling life. Thanks be to God.
