It is with a heavy heart that we acknowledge the passing, on May 20, 2026, of our beautiful mother Gloria M. Muniz of Cleveland, NM.

She is preceded in death by her parents Estevan and Fidelia Vigil; brothers Evaristo, Gilbert, Antonio, and Felix Vigil; sisters Rosalia (Frank) Pacheco, Erlinda Vigil, and Theresa (Jim) Miller; and in‑laws Sam and Eulalia Muniz, Antonia (Louis) Weathers, Eva Pino, Eutimia Muniz, Juan Muniz, Leroy Muniz, Delores (Joe) Weathers, and Anita Martinez.

Gloria enjoyed sewing, cooking, jigsaw puzzles, and watching Jeopardy! and Days of Our Lives. Her cooking was beyond belief—she made brownies, cakes, and pastelitos with love, and anyone who visited her home never left without dessert or a jar of her famous capulín or apricot‑pineapple jelly.

Gloria was born on July 8, 1945, to Estevan N. Vigil and Fidela Lujan‑Vigil in Santa Fe, NM. She is survived by her husband of over sixty years, Samuel G. Muniz, and their four daughters: Frances, Dolores, Anita, and Jennifer (Robert) and their children Kimberly, Jessie (Kendra) great grandchildren Gracie, Ezekiel, and Elliott; and the sunshine of her life, her granddaughter Victora Rodriguez. She is also survived by her brother George E. Vigil of Los Alamos, NM; Sister-in-law Irene Vigil of Denver; sisters‑ and brother‑in‑law Dorothy Muniz of Mora, NM, Josephine Cruz (Leroy) of Las Vegas, NM, and David Muniz (Vaughn) of Albuquerque, NM; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Services will be held on Friday, June 5, 2026, at St. Gertrude’s Catholic Church in Mora, NM. The Rosary will be recited at 9:30 a.m., followed by the Funeral Mass at 10:00 a.m. with Father Dale Craig S.O.L.T. as celebrant. Interment will take place at San Antonio Cemetery in Cleveland, NM. Family and friends are warmly invited to gather afterward for a reception and luncheon at Mora VFW Post 1131.

Arrangements are entrusted to and under the care of Rogers Mortuary 600 Reynolds Ave Las Vegas, NM 87701 505-425-3511 or 1-800-479-3511.
