Gloria Sgammato

Gloria Sgammato, age 50, of Surprise Arizona died on January 22nd, 2020 after a short battle with colon cancer. Gloria was born on June 21, 1969, to Abraham Cruz and Nilda Yulfo.

Gloria was a free spirit who loved life. Every day was an adventure to her and she loved to share that adventure with her family. The moment Gloria walked into a room her presence was instantly felt and everyone knew that it was going to be a good time.

Throughout her battle with cancer, Gloria was in high spirits. She never let her diagnosis come between her and the things she loved to do. During her hospital stays Gloria could be found in her room having dance parties with anyone who would join her; from family members, friends, nurses and even by herself. She even had makeover parties in her hospital room that she showed off on Facebook through numerous videos and photos. No matter how difficult her battle was Gloria kept her spirits high and enjoyed every moment she got with her family.

Gloria loved her family. She was very proud of her children and would boast about them any chance she got. Gloria was especially proud of her daughter Cristal who stood by her side and took care of her throughout her battle with cancer. Gloria and her sisters Sandi, Diana and Valerie were more than sisters they were best friends. Sandi and Gloria had a special phrase they would say to each other whenever they said goodbye “I Love you to the moon and back, around the world and into space.”

She loved being a grandmother and spending time with her grandchildren. There were countless weekends that her grandkids spent with her, going to the park, watching movies, eating grandma’s amazing cooking, playing hide and seek, and many other fun things. Through all of the fun, Gloria instilled two things in the hearts of her grandchildren; always speak your mind and don’t allow anyone to treat you any less than you deserve.

Gloria is survived by her mother Nilda Rodriguez, Daughters Destiny and Cristal Rodriguez, sons Abraham and Justin Rodriguez, Sisters Sandra “Sandi” Santiago, Diana Cruz and Valerie Morales and six grandchildren. She is proceeded in death by her grandparents, daughter Sandra Rodriguez and husband Frank Sgammato.

  17. Ugh where do I find the words….

    It took me some time to write to you. As I’m typing, tears are coming down my eyes.. we did this for sandra, never thought I would have to do this for you so soon..

    I’m having a really hard time understanding that you’re gone. I’m in denial, you was the only one who actually understood me. Now I have to come out of my comfort zone of being an introvert and allow people to understand me…. I haven’t came to the concept of believing that it’s good to talk about you. In reality all I want to do is talk to you. Hear your voice one more time. I’m okay with where we left off with our relationship, I’m not okay with how you left.. it was too soon, to quick. Things will never be the same. I have a lot of questions that could never be answered.. why? Why you? Why so quick? I watched you with such energy to not even being able to talk. I’m traumatized. I have to convince myself that you’re in a better place now, I know you’re watching over me.. please protect me and help me with these hard days, I feel like I’m loosing myself.. I’m lost.. I have no sense of direction anymore. I miss you, I love you… I wish I can take care of you just one more day!

    Take care mom, until we meet again 😢
