After a short fight with cancer on Sunday April 20, 2025; Gloria E. Arellano, a beloved mother, friend, aunt, daughter and cousin, passed peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering devotion. Born to Jose Jesus and Engracia Arellano on April 1, 1961 in Juarez Mexico, she touched the lives of all who knew her with her generous spirit and warm heart.

A true lover of life, Gloria took immense pride in her hobbies—baking, gardening, and outdoor adventures—activities through which she expressed her creativity and zest for living. Her unconditional love extended beyond her family, embracing many adopted children, feathered friends, and furry companions, all of whom she cared for with boundless affection.

Her family and friends were her greatest treasures—her support, her joy, her reason. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit and the love she shared will forever remain in our hearts.

Gloria was preceded in death by her mother, Engracia Arellano.

She is survived by:

Children: Sylvia Sparling, Alfredo Estrada, Lisa Estrada, her feather and fur babies along with several “adopted” children.

Grandchildren: Nate Sparling, Chris Sparling, Israel Molina, DeJanae Shields and Amari Smalls.

Siblings: Dora Arellano, Gerardo Arellano, Jose Arellano, Ricardo Arellano, Rosanne Herrera and Hilda Arellano.

Parent: Jose Jesus Arellano

You will be eternally loved and never forgotten.

Forever “28”.
