Fresno, CA—The community mourns the passing of Gloria Garibay, a beloved wife, mother, and friend, who left a profound impact on those around her. Known for her selflessness and unwavering devotion to her family, Gloria’s unexpected passing on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at Kaiser Hospital in Fresno has left her family and friends heartbroken.
Gloria was born in 1950 in Fresno and spent her life dedicated to her family and community. A devoted Christian, she lived a life of faith and kindness, supporting her loved ones in every possible way. She married her husband, David Garibay, in 1974, and the two celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this past June. Gloria spent 40 years working with PG&E before retiring, all while serving as a caring matriarch, friend, and caregiver to her family, including her older sister, Mary.
Family and faith were the cornerstones of Gloria’s life. Her kindness extended to everyone she encountered, and even through her own health challenges, she remained focused on the needs of others. Her sudden departure followed a catastrophic stroke from which she could not recover. She was surrounded by close family in her final moments, with her husband, David, by her side, gently singing to her as she passed.
The Garibay family now faces the financial burden of covering funeral, cremation, and hospital expenses. A GoFundMe fundraiser has been established by Jeannie Alemania, a lifelong friend of Gloria’s daughter, Sara Garibay, to help the family with these costs. The community has already shown support, raising $250 through heartfelt contributions from friends and family, including donations from Glenda Trujillo, Douglas Holck, and Jacque Morton.
Plans for a memorial and celebration of Gloria’s life will be shared in the coming days as loved ones gather to honor her memory. Gloria’s legacy of love, compassion, and devotion will be remembered by all who knew her.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to David, Sara, and the entire Garibay family during this difficult time. May Gloria rest in peace, reuniting with her cherished son, Andrew, and her parents in heaven.
