Gloria was born on March 27, 1940, in Mission, Texas to Froilan and Romanita (Coronado) Reyna. She married Daniel Rodriquez in January 1961; they made their way to Hart, which became their home.

Gloria was a proud homemaker, who lovingly cared for her husband and children. Later in life, she started a snow cone business called “Snow Blessings.” Gloria loved being outdoors, gardening, and watering her plants, cooking, making tamales, and sewing. She enjoyed watching sports and was a fan of the Cowboys, and the Warriors, and the #1 Fan for her grandchildren going to all their sporting events. Gloria had a strong faith and love for God, serving in her church faithfully and preaching when given the opportunity. She was blessed as an honorary elder in her church.

Gloria’s greatest love was for her family, her children, and her grandchildren. She loved spending time with them, enjoying trips, movies, and game nights. She was a great listener who gave excellent advice; she was funny, loving, graceful, a friend to everyone, and a best friend to her family. Gloria was a one-of-a-kind mom, who loved big and was loved.
