Ann Marie Montijo, beloved mother, grandmother, cousin and friend passed away peacefully on September 5, 2025 in Fresno, California, at the age of 51.

Born on March 4, 1974, in California, Ann devoted her life to caring for others — both in her work as a caregiver and in the way she loved and supported her family. Her happiest moments were spent surrounded by her children and grandchildren and cousins listening to music, and sharing laughter and love.

Ann was the proud mother of six children Erica Gloria, Steven Gloria Jr, Edward Gloria, Stephanie Gloria, Joel Gloria and Noel Gloria. She was also the adoring grandmother to fourteen grandchildren. She brought comfort, joy, and honesty to every room she entered. With an outgoing spirit, a great sense of humor, and a gift for being both blunt and comforting, she made people feel seen, heard, and loved.

A chapel service will be held in her honor on Wednesday, September 17, 2025 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at:
