Gloria C. Bazan

With heartfelt love and sorrow, our family announces the passing of Gloria C. Bazan, 74, of Peñitas, Texas, on November 4, 2025. She was born on May 6, 1951, in Monterrey, Mexico, and lived a life devoted to faith and family. Gloria is lovingly survived by her children — Claudia Bazan (Gloria Ramos), Kerry Bazan (Janet Bazan), and Cyanna Moriarty (Matthew Moriarty). She was the proud grandmother of ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, each a reflection of her devotion and joy. She is also survived by her sisters, Francisca Covarrubia and Olivia Gueda, and her brother, Juan José Covarrubia, along with numerous nieces and nephews whose love for and from her spanned generations and distance alike. Gloria is joyfully reunited in Heaven with her husband, Armando Bazan Sr.; her children Armando “Monster” Bazan Jr. and Diana Bazan: and her parents, Santos Covarrubia and Lydia Garza Covarrubia. Gloria was a strong loving woman with a big heart who devoted her life to her family. Her presence was gentle and powerful and her love will continue to hold her family together for generations to come. She cherished her faith, often praying for anyone and everyone. She had a gift for storytelling especially when sharing memories of her childhood days as a jump rope champion or telling stories of her children growing up. She spoke with great pride of the years she spent driving trucks and working in the fields in Dell CIty, Texas - work that reflects her resilience, determination and unwavering spirit. Those who knew her saw a strong woman in that chair on the sidelines supporting her grandchildren and her daughter’s Lady Lobos. Her pride was pure, it was a true love and it was constant; the lady on the chair… No one saw the pain of her heart heavy from missing her heavenly children; we only saw her exceptional strength because that is how she chose it, that is how strong she was. Her presence was light and to all that know her, we are nothing short of blessed to know she is received in Holy Paradise, in complete, peaceful joy. Gloria’s legacy is one of strength, love and devotion. Her stories, her laughter and her unwavering faith will continue to guide her family. We will honor her by loving one another, without judgments and as deeply as she loved us. Visitation will be held at Virgil Wilson Mortuary in Mission on Thursday, November 6, 2025, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m., with a rosary at 7:00 p.m. A Mass will take place on Friday, November 7,2025 at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Mission at 10:00am, the burial will follow at Valley Memorial Gardens.
