Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Queen, Gloria Pulinario, who peacefully departed this world on February 1, 2025, at 7:17 PM, surrounded by the love of her devoted family. She was 82 years young—a life beautifully lived, a soul deeply cherished.
Born on December 15, 1942, in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic, Gloria’s journey was one of resilience, love, and unwavering dedication to family. She first made a home in Long Island, New York, where she became a pillar of the community—known as everyone’s mother, a source of strength, and a guiding light. Later, she found her true haven in Rancho Mission Viejo, California, where her kindness, wisdom, and grace left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Gloria is survived by her loving husband, Francisco Pulinario, with whom she shared 54 beautiful years of marriage, filled with love, devotion, and an unbreakable bond. She leaves behind a legacy of love through her cherished daughters: Enora De La Cruz, Damaris Reyes, Raquel Pulinario, Ruth Perez, Luzmaria Pulinario, and Sandra Peguero Guzman, as well as her beloved adopted daughter, Elizabeth Morrison. She is also reunited in heaven with her sweet son, Frankie Mateo, who left this earth at just two years old but forever remained in her heart.
Her love shines on through her adoring grandchildren: Jonathan, Victoria, Jacob, Dannyela, Fernando, Brandan, D’Angelo, Adryana, Ethan, Nathaniel, Raheem, Jordyn, Davonny, Taylor, Jovan, Alisandra, Tommy, and Talissa, and her great-grandchildren: Kaylynn, Lana, Catherine, Crew, Julius, Kamari, Zyaire, Jasper, and “to be continued.”
Gloria was more than just a mother to her own children—she was a second mother to everyone who crossed her path, offering wisdom, warmth, and an open heart to those in need. Her home was a sanctuary, her presence a source of comfort, and her love a guiding force for so many.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, February 5, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at O’Connor Mortuary, 25301 Alicia Parkway, Laguna Hills, CA 92653.
She will be laid to rest at Mission San Luis Rey, 4050 Mission Ave, Oceanside, CA 92057, where a graveside ceremony will take place on Thursday, February 6, at 11:00 AM.
Gloria Pulinario’s memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved her. Her spirit, lessons, and love will continue to guide and inspire her family for generations to come. Though she is no longer physically here, her presence will always be felt in the warmth of a shared meal, the echoes of laughter, and the strength of the family she built.
“We love you, baby.”

Lord Jesus, I ask for your mercy and grace for my Titi as she begins her journey into eternal life. Please bring Mamota into your loving arms and grant her peace and rest. I also pray for those who are left behind, that they would find comfort and hope in your presence and the promise of seeing their loved ones again. Lord Jesus please hear this prayer for the dead and provide her soul with your abundance of love as she enters your heavenly kingdom. Help our family and loved ones left behind to understand that you have a plan for everyone. Help them to find peace in their time of mourning and to know that no matter what you are always with them through the pain that they may be feeling. In Jesus name Amen.

My beautiful Tia Mamota. You will always and forever be a part of my life. You took me and my sister Anamia in and watched over us for so many years while mommy worked ,and you did this with love and honor. You’re the reason why I learned to love so much. I want to thank you for always being there for us and our family. Your smile said so much about your persona. When ever I saw your smile it gave me joy it gave me wisdom ,but most of all hope. I love you so much and can’t wait until we meet again ,and I can hug you tightly and see that beautiful smile again. Forever my sunshine. I love you Tia may you rest peacefully now. 🕊️❤️

Mi querida baby. Siempre te recordaré cómo el regalo más especial que vino a nuestra vida. Puedo verel día que pancho te trajo a nuestro hogar. Que bendición que alegría. Agradezco el amor y el cuidado especial que siempre mostró por mi mamá. Eran buenas amigas. Agradezco que sus puertas siempre estaban abierta con brazos abiertos Nuncas fuimos extraños en su casa. Su palabra favorita siervete ya la comida estado quiere un cafecito. Arroz y habichuelas eran el menú del día. Agradezco de la forma especial que cuido an mis hijas siempre con mucho amor al igual que todos los niños que llegaron a su casa. Todos le decían Mami porque lo abrazaba a todos y ningunos se querían ir a casa incluyendo las mia. Se que muy pronto te veré en un mundo sin dolor ni sufrimiento. Apocalipsis 21:4 Y les secará toda lágrima de sus ojos, y la muerte ya no existirá, ni habrá más tristeza ni llanto ni dolor. Las cosas anteriores han desaparecido”. Hasta que ese día llegue estará viva en mi mente y mi corazón. Siempre serás LA REINA DE LOS PULINARIO. Mi BABY te querré por toda una eternidad. Mimi and girls o las Niñas como tú las llamabas.
