Gloria F. Murrieta

October 16, 1938 — June 29, 2025

Gloria F. Murrieta, a beloved matriarch, passed away peacefully on June 29, 2025, at the age of 86. Born on October 16, 1938, Gloria's life was a testament to love, humility, and unwavering devotion to her family.

She is survived by her esteemed daughters: Chayito Arreola, Ana Gloria Arreola (Gina), Cecilia Morales (Jesus), Marcela Cruz (Efren), and Lilian Cruz; and her treasured sons: Guillermo Arreola (Anita), Enrique Arreola (Cristina), and Luis Cruz (Dolores). Gloria was a proud and doting grandmother to her 20 grandchildren and to her 40 great-grandchildren, each of whom she cherished deeply. She shared a special bond with her brother, Francisco Murrieta, whose presence in her life was a constant source of support and companionship.

Gloria will be remembered fondly for her humble nature and her loving spirit. She was often regarded as a gentle soul whose greatest joy came from helping others. The holidays were particularly significant to her, filled with laughter, good food, and the warmth of family gatherings.
