Gloria Robles
November 10, 1926 - December 19, 2015
Gloria was born in Santa Barbara, California November 15, 1926. She and her two brothers were born into the Flores Family. Gloria went home to be with the Lord on December 18, 2015. She was a lucky one to pass at home. Gloria was raised by her grandparents. She attended Lincoln Elementary School. She entered the Domestic workforce early in life. She was a very dedicated worker wherever she was employed. In 1953 Gloria married Alfonso C. Robles in Ventura, California. Little did she know that she was now part of the Founding Families of Santa Barbara. Together they lived in a house on Cota Street. When Alfonso passed away in 1981, Gloria took in animals to keep her company. She also took in Elmer R. Calderon, who was a cousin to her husband. To Gloria, he was family. Gloria was very giving to everyone who she crossed paths with. Whether they were bad or good, she loved them all. Life wasn't about her. It was always about everybody else Gloria leaves behind nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her two brothers and her favorite cat Tuxedo. Her caregivers were Armida Rosenberry and Maria Elena Neverez. She was thankful to have those two angels take care of her in final days. For the past 3 years of her life it was another cousin of her late husband that helped Gloria. "A Big Thank you to Jack Calderon and his son John Calderon, for always being there." Thank you Hospice of Santa Barbara for all your help, and to Harold Kona, The Attorney who was right by Gloria's side and will be forever in her heart. Services will be held on Saturday January 9, 2016 at 10 am at Welch-Ryce-Haider, located at 15 East Sola St.
