It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Gloria Veganava, age 41, of Perris, California, who died on July 8, 2025, following injuries sustained in a devastating vehicle collision near Moapa, Nevada. Her untimely death has left her family, friends, and community in deep mourning, struggling to comprehend the loss of such a vibrant, compassionate, and deeply loved woman.
Gloria was a woman of exceptional strength, unwavering love, and quiet grace. To know her was to experience warmth, generosity, and loyalty in its purest form. She carried herself with humility and a nurturing spirit that touched everyone she met. Whether she was comforting a friend, raising her children, or simply offering a smile to a stranger, Gloria did so with genuine care and an open heart.
Born in October 1983, Gloria grew up in Southern California where she was known for her strong sense of family and fierce determination. She was the kind of person who showed up for others—no matter the time, distance, or circumstance. Her commitment to her loved ones was matched only by her remarkable work ethic and resilience in the face of adversity.
Gloria worked tirelessly to provide a better life for her family, often juggling multiple roles as a mother, provider, caregiver, and friend. She found joy in the simple things—family dinners, weekend gatherings, spontaneous road trips, and moments of laughter that turned into cherished memories. Her life was defined not by material accomplishments but by the deep relationships she cultivated and the love she so freely gave.
Her tragic passing in Nevada has sent waves of grief through her community and beyond. She had been traveling when the fatal collision occurred near Moapa, a rural area just north of Las Vegas. Despite emergency efforts to save her, Gloria succumbed to her injuries, leaving an irreplaceable void in the hearts of those who loved her.
Gloria is survived by her beloved children, who were the center of her world. She raised them with strength, compassion, and an unwavering belief in their potential. Her role as a mother was her proudest achievement, and she devoted her life to making sure her children felt safe, supported, and unconditionally loved.
She is also survived by close family members, including siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends who considered her family. Gloria’s passing leaves behind not only sorrow but also a legacy of kindness, perseverance, and heartfelt connection that will live on in those who knew her.
