Numerous nephews, nieces, great-nephews and great-nieces will miss the lipstick kisses and flamboyant nature of their 'Grandma.'

Gloria and my mother Carol Montano Trujillo were best friends. They met in the year 1969 and and remained friends throughout all these years. They lived, laughed, and cried together. My mom last saw Gloria in August where she tried to make Gloria laugh and smile. They danced together in her wheelchair. My mom is unable to attend her services due to her current health. My mom loved her and will miss her until they see each other again. Love, Salena Montano Vigil (Carol’s daughter) and Carol Montano Trujillo.
