Gilda was a cherished member of her community whose warmth and love enveloped all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Gilda held an Associate's Degree and dedicated her life to raising her family. Gilda's love for her family knew no bounds; she found immense joy in preparing wonderful meals that brought everyone together, traveling to create lasting memories, and sharing her love for reading romance novels.
