Chicago, Illinois
It is with heavy hearts and profound sorrow that we share the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Gloria Mallard. Gloria left this world peacefully, surrounded by love, but her departure has left a void that words can hardly express.
Born and raised in Chicago, Gloria was the embodiment of grace, strength, and compassion. She was a light in the lives of all who knew her—a woman of quiet dignity and unwavering kindness. Gloria gave of herself freely, always ready with a warm smile, a listening ear, and open arms. Her laughter was a melody that could brighten the darkest of days, and her wisdom was a guiding light for her family and community.
As a mother, Gloria was nurturing, patient, and deeply devoted. She worked tirelessly to provide and protect, raising her children with love, faith, and a strong sense of purpose. Her life was not defined by material wealth, but by the richness of the love she gave and the lives she touched. Gloria believed in the power of community, often putting the needs of others before her own, and offering her heart to those in need without ever asking for anything in return.
Losing her is a sorrow beyond words. And now, as we face the painful task of saying our final goodbye, we are working to honor her memory with a service that reflects the love and dignity she so effortlessly embodied. However, the financial burden of funeral and memorial costs has added to our grief during this difficult time.
We humbly ask for your support—whether through a contribution to help cover expenses, a shared memory of Gloria, or simply keeping us in your prayers. No gesture is too small, and every expression of love is deeply appreciated.
To know Gloria was to be loved by her, and we are endlessly grateful for the time we had with her. While her physical presence may be gone, her spirit will remain with us always—in the stories we share, the lessons she taught, and the love she instilled in us all.
Thank you for standing with us during this tender time.
With love and gratitude,
The Family of Gloria Mallard
