Beloved Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, (Auntie!), Friend, Lifelong Gilroyan and local south county resident, Gloria Caliri, passed away July 25,2025
peacefully in her sleep. She was just shy of her 91st birthday.

Gloria was born in Morgan Hill to Swiss-Italian immigrants from Ticino Switzerland and Lugo ,Italy. She married Frank Caliri from Gilroy in 1954.
Together they were a great team. She and Frank were active in the business community and grew the family business, Gilroy Cable TV, along with partner Ben Tsuda.

She and Frank energetically supported the Gilroy Garlic Festivals; a success from the outset. Gloria also worked as a bookkeeper for other businesses such as Sarah's Vineyard, Sunshine Bicycles and for the Historical Miller Red Barn. She accomplished all this while raising a family and keeping the home front organized.

In her 40's, Gloria learned to fly small private airplanes and loved it! She and Frank flew all over the western US and Alaska and made many trips to Tahoe to ski and work at their little cabin.

She was active in the community, family oriented and known for amazing Italian dishes. She will be missed by all who knew her and all who loved her! ❤
