Gloria Aguilera

Gloria Aguilera, 70, of Ammon, Idaho, passed away peacefully on November 5, 2025, surrounded by family and those she loved most. Born on March 1, 1955, in Hondo, Texas, Gloria built a life grounded in devotion, love, and family.

On July 31, 1971, she married the love of her life, Robert Aguilera, beginning a marriage that spanned more than five decades-a partnership filled with laughter, compassion, and shared dreams. A dedicated nurse and homemaker, Gloria cared deeply for others both within her family and beyond. Her warm spirit and gentle guidance enriched every life she touched.

Gloria had a remarkable talent for creating beauty from simple things. An avid reader and skilled maker of quilts and clothing, she poured love into every project, stitching together both fabric and memories. She was immensely proud of her children 12 grandchildren, and 23 great-grandkids who will forever carry her legacy of love and care forward.

Gloria is survived by her beloved husband, Robert; and her daughters, Izabel Bailey (Noel Andrew), Maria Martindale (Lance), Cindy Silvas (Justin) and Sandy Grebstad (Chris). She was preceded in death by her beloved parents Francisca and Genardo Sanchez. She leaves behind a lifetime of devotion, love and creativity that will continue to inspire those who knew her. Her family will gather privately to celebrate her life and the gentle mark she left on their hearts.
