Rita's obituary

Rita Gloria Williams (Garcia), 75, Passed away at 15:28 on January 14, 2025 in Northcare Hospice house. 

Rita also known as "Gloria" was born a new year's baby in 1950 to Eligio and Rita (Cosio) Garcia at Mercy Hospital in San Diego and she lived there until moving to the Kansas City area.

Gloria loved life and was always busy, always active and very social.  She loved travel and adventure; she loved music and dancing. She embraced life's journey and lived in places like Illinois, Michigan, and Oklahoma but she always found her way home to Kansas City.  One could say that she was the life of the party but when Gloria was around, life was the party.

Gloria's surviving legacy consists of her brother; Gilbert (Martha) Garcia of National City, Ca. Her former husband, Thomas (Cruz) Zaragoza Sean Mcgillis of Anchorage Alaska, Thomas (Liza) Zaragoza of Parkville Mo, Gloria (Scott) Kelley of Muskegon Mi. She is survived by 12 grandchildren, Emily, Brandon, Briana, Jaden, Hayley, Lance, Gabhen, Lilly, Joanna, Abilynn, Cammy, and Nevaeh. 10 great grandchildren  Kaydence, Tristan, William, Elayna, Kayden, Luna, Rylee, Silas Christopher, Asher, and Silas. And 2 Nephews Michael, and Eric.

Gloria Williams will be taken by her loved ones to California to be laid to rest with her parents.
