Ms. Gloria Shifflet's Obituary
Gloria Elena Shifflet, a 45 year resident of Houston, passed away peacefully Tuesday, May 24 in Pearland Texas. Born October 12, 1933 in Monterrey Mexico, Gloria came to the U.S., met and married the love of her life, Avis R. (Dick) Shifflet and obtained a masters degree at UH Gloria then cheerfully embraced her life work as an educator in the Pasadena Independent School District. She enjoyed listening to classical music, cooking, travel, laughing, smiling, being with her family, having fun with friends and teaching high school Spanish. In spite of her work schedule, she was a devoted mother and eventually, gramma and 'gopie'.
Words cannot express the loving memories and profound gratitude with which Gloria will be remembered by her son Rick and his wife, Kay, son Ron and his wife Daphne, daughter Laurie and her husband Art, grandchildren Travis Bell, Ashley Adams, Melody Shifflet, Lucy Mitchell, Lilly Mitchell, Avisette Orlando and Ronnie Orlando. A host of extended family and former students also celebrate the positive impact Gloria made on their lives as we all bid farewell to this extraordinary daughter, sister, wife, mother, teacher and friend.
