Gloria C. Loffredo was born on January 10, 1928 in Paterson, NJ.
She was the first of three children, born to Alberto (Umberto) and Claire Loffredo of Paterson, NJ. Gloria was always a big help to her parents with the children, being the eldest, seeing that her brothers got to school on time and helped her parents with many things that needed to be done.
She attended school at Paterson Grammar school and was always an excellent student. The teachers loved her, and she excelled in her studies. She graduated from Paterson Central High School, moved to Totowa and then Wayne.
Gloria was a very quick learner and always had a very sharp mind. She amazed everyone with how much she knew, both in school and in everyday life. She had many friends and cousins, coming from a big family, and enjoyed being very active with all. She enjoyed all social events, such as dances, music, theater, movies, boat trips, trips to the shore, and traveling. She loved to be very sociable and had many friends and family who loved her very dearly. She took pride in herself and always looked so beautiful.
Gloria was a member of the Holy Cross RC Church in Wayne, NJ. She was very religious and knew every saint and prayer for each saint by heart.
After high school, she worked for many years as an electronic assembler and then managed the family dry cleaning business. She took much pride in her work and was very dedicated. Her bosses always loved her and were amazed at how quickly she picked up on her work and the pride she took in doing it. She was very dependable and would never let anyone down. She took a very big interest in all of her nieces and nephews, and loved all the big gatherings that her family and friends always had. There were always many people around her and she loved all the many social affairs. There were always many activities around her and she loved every one of them. She would never miss one and loved to learn and know as much as she could about anything and everything. People always viewed Gloria as a very active and fun loving person, and she would always be there, as a dependable family member, helping in any way she could and always helping all of her many relatives and friends in any situation.
One of her biggest interests was music, dancing and movies. She not only loved to listen to many different types of music, and also wanted to know the history of the song, who wrote it, who performed, and everything about it. She had a lot of pleasure listening to her favorite oldies radio station based in Pompton Lakes, NJ, WGHT, and the DJ’s were amazed at how she always had the answer to their trivia questions. Some of the questions were very hard, and no one else would have a clue as to the answer, but Gloria always had all the answers. Her family was amazed at her memories of everything. She loved to tell about the family history and different very interesting stories about her experiences. Everyone really enjoyed listening to the very interesting things she knew and spoke about. She was like a walking encyclopedia. If you did not know the answer, ask Gloria, as she surely would have the answer. She loved to sing and her niece, Linda, would join in and they would sing many songs for hours. She truly had a great love of music. One of her favorite things to do was to attend the annual Do-Wop concerts as well as many other concerts. Where there was music, there was Gloria. She also loved movies and enjoyed all types of movies from older Frank Sinatra movies to the newer movies. She loved entertainment from all generations. She was always very young at heart.
In her later years, she was a very dedicated daughter to both of her parents and took extremely wonderful care of them right up to the end of their lives. She was always there for them as she was for everyone. She carried on all of their wishes and it gave them great comfort to have her there, taking care of them. She was always a very dedicated person and friend, and always made time for everyone, and loved to help anyone and everyone. She always said that was her purpose on this earthly life. She will be sadly missed by all. Gloria was one of a kind. A more interesting person you would not find.
Gloria was pre-deceased by her mother, Claire Loffredo and her father, Albert Loffredo, and her brother Ronald Loffredo(2008) and her nephew Michael Loffredo(1996).
She is survived by her brother, Joseph and his wife Rose of Wayne, by her sister-in- law Anne Loffredo of Wayne, her niece, Linda Loffredo of Rockaway; her niece, Debi VanDerVelden, and her husband, Matthew of Wayne, her nephew, Tony R Loffredo of Ringwood and his wife Rose Marie, her nephew, Gary Loffredo and his wife Lisa, of Wayne, and her nephew Dennis Loffredo and his wife, Michele, of Wayne, and many cousins.
