As a devoted mother, she leaves behind her three sons, Miguel V. Arizola (and his wife Melva), Ronnie Arizola, and Johnnie Arizola, who were her pride and joy. Her nurturing spirit extended to her 15 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, each of whom she adored and who brought immense joy to her days. As a sister, Gloria was cherished by her four sisters and two brothers. Together, they shared countless memories, laughter, and a bond that only grew stronger with time. Her family was her world, and she found profound happiness in their company, always ensuring that they felt loved and supported.

She found delight in shopping, a pastime that allowed her to express her vibrant personality and generosity through thoughtful gifts and cherished moments with her family. Her love for spending time with her family was unparalleled; her home was a haven filled with laughter, love, and the aroma of her delicious home-cooked meals. In honoring her wishes, a private funeral ceremony will be held, attended by her close family members, who will celebrate and cherish the beautiful memories Gloria leaves behind. Though the gathering will be intimate, her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Gloria V. Arizola's life was a tapestry woven with love, kindness, and unwavering dedication to her family. Her legacy will endure in the hearts and lives of those she touched.
