Gloria moved to New York at an early age and worked in Directory Assistance at Bell Atlantic Company for a few years and then worked with the United States Postal Service where she held many positions.  She continued to work at the USPS Bronx P&DC as a  Confidential Secretary before retiring in July 2007.  Gloria was loved by many that crossed her path and she was “the life of the party”.  Her life was so impactful that the legacy she leaves will never be forgotten.  Even during her final days, Gloria wanted to ensure that the family was okay and would remain close.
