Gloria was a shining beacon of light in her family, spreading positivity and joy at every turn. Gloria grew up in Paterson, New Jersey with her loving family of nine brothers and sisters. Gloria married her loving husband, George Massoud, on May 19th, 1957 surrounded by her loving family.
George and Gloria were blessed with two children, Marie and Christine, who they cherished with all of their hearts. Her children, and five grandchildren, meant everything to her. Her love of family was unparalleled and she only wanted to be together.
Gloria would put the best chefs out of business; her cooking, while exquisite to taste, was something that she loved to do. Even when she got into her later years and cooking became harder, she graciously insisted on cooking authentic Syrian foods for her family.
Gloria was always a fashionable woman with hair that would wow even the greatest hairstylists. Her hair was so enduring, that a raging windstorm was no match. Gloria would dress in beautiful clothes for every occasion. On her coat, she would fashion pins, angels on one side, and the American flag on the other.
While Gloria was known for her love of family, she was also known for her love of The New York Yankees. She was also known for her absolute disdain for the New York Yankees. It all depended on how the season was going. She and her husband never missed a game, inning, or minute of baseball.
Gloria leaves behind a heart-shattered family. The world lost a caring, thoughtful, compassionate, tenderhearted, and selfless person.
