Gloria Jean Griffith, age 90, peacefully departed this life into eternal life on September 1, 2023, in San Antonio, Texas. She was born Gloria Jean Fiucci, on September 17, 1932, in Reading, PA, and graduated from West Reading High School in 1950. In 1953 she married Robert (Bob) Griffith, who was serving in the U. S. Air Force. As a military wife, Gloria lived in many locations all over the U.S. and the world. Following Bob’s retirement from the military in the early 1970s, they decided to make San Antonio their long-term home. Her greatest joy in life was her family and seeing it grow and prosper. She and Bob were loving providers and encouragers as their two sons grew up and found their own ways in life. And as each son started their own families, Gloria and Bob were actively involved in every aspect of their grandchildren’s activities and interests. After Bob’s death in 2000, Gloria moved to the senior living community at Morningside Ministries on Babcock and St. Cloud Roads in San Antonio. There she did volunteer work, assisted with the chapel services, participated in the many recreational activities, and made many new friends. She was a devoted San Antonio Spurs fan, loved watching movies, both new and old, and took many day trips. Gloria had a zest for life and a heart for loving others that lasted right up to the very end. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her two sons, Steven (wife Lisa) and Mark (wife Debra). Also five grandchildren: Stephanie, Lauren, and Kellie (fiancé Ryan) Griffith, and Kelton and Alec (wife Venus) Griffith. And one great-granddaughter, Remi, who brought a new spark to her life when she joined the family 7 years ago. All of her immediate family live in San Antonio. Gloria is also survived by her brother, Robert Fiucci (wife Pat), of Reading, PA, and numerous Fiucci and Griffith family nieces and nephews. The family will receive visitors at Mission Park Funeral Home, 3401 Cherry Ridge Drive, San Antonio, TX 78230, on Saturday, September 9, 2023, from 2 to 4 pm. If desired, a gift may be made in memory of Gloria Griffith to Morningside Ministries at www.mmliving.org/giving/donate. A private burial will occur later at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, San Antonio, Texas, where Gloria will be laid to rest with her husband.
