Her mother, Lion Betty Rodzielowicz, passed away on Jan. 17, 2022, at Palm Gardens, after a long illness, concluding with COVID. They were both born in Paterson, N.J.
Gloria and her mom were residents of Kings Point, after moving here from Toms River, N.J., in 2012. Gloria and mom (as everyone knew Betty), were the best of friends and were together constantly, until mom got sick. When COVID hit and mom was in a nursing facility, Gloria worked tirelessly advocating for mom and other nursing care patients to have their families visit. Gloria was the first family member to visit during COVID at Palm Gardens, leading the way for other families to be able to visit their loved ones. Gloria and mom were both dedicated Lions.
Gloria ,who was the daughter of the late Betty and Walter Rodzielowicz, was born on Sept. 3, 1949. Mom was born on Sept. 14, 1927. Before moving to Sun City Center, Gloria was a retired teacher of the visually impaired, employed by the New Jersey Department of Human Services/New Jersey Commission for the Blind. She was a highly respected educator who made a positive impact upon the lives of both her colleagues and students. In addition, Gloria was a member of Prince of Peace Catholic Church and the Health Ministry of her church. Mom was very active in her community prior to becoming a Lion.
There are no immediate survivors other than Billie, Gloria’s guide dog, who has already been placed with a loving family. Gloria and mom’s friends wish to thank everyone for their caring and help with Gloria and mom. In their memory, donations may be made to the Sun City Center Lions Foundation, Inc., P. O. Box 5684, Sun City Center, FL 33571-5684.
“Mom was a mom to all who knew her. She and Gloria had a special bond that could not be broken by either time, space and, even, in death. They are together, finally resting with each other as they ascend with the angels.” May their star shine bright above! They will both be missed so much.
A mass will be held for Gloria and Mom at Prince of Peace Catholic Church, 702 Valley Forge Boulevard, Sun City Center, on Thursday, Feb. 10, at 10 a.m.
