Gladys Garcia Galan's Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gladys, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, who departed this life peacefully at the age of 87.
Born in Puerto Rico in 1938, Gladys brought light and warmth to everyone she met. She dedicated many years of her life working as a housekeeper in an assisted living facility, where her kindness, diligence, and gentle spirit touched the lives of countless residents and staff. Her work was more than a job—it was an extension of her deep compassion and unwavering commitment to caring for others.
Gladys was the proud mother of two daughters, the cherished grandmother of three, and the joyful great-grandmother of three. She is also survived by two loving sisters, two devoted brothers, and a large extended family who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.
She will be remembered for her strength, her love of family, and the quiet grace with which she lived her life. Her legacy lives on in the generations she nurtured and the lives she touched.
