Gloria Vilma Lopez

It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of Gloria Vilma Lopez, who died peacefully the morning of July 20th, 2025. Gloria was the beloved wife of Pedro Sigfredo Lopez, who predeceased her May 26, 2004, and the devoted mother of Carlos (predeceased April 30, 2025), Saul, Nelson, Romeo, and Marisol.

Gloria will be dearly missed by all who loved her, including her daughters-in-law, Launa and Sonia; her many grandchildren Andrew, Emily, Peter, Natalia, Alex, Gloria, Luis and Edwin; and her great grandchildren Elisa and Stirling.

Born in San Salvador, Gloria was a woman of strength, resilience, and boundless warmth. Married at a young age, she dedicated her life to caring for her husband and children, while also running a small store to help support her family. She met life’s challenges with determination. During times of great difficulty, including her family’s eventual emigration from their homeland, Gloria always found a way to help her loved ones adapt, thrive, and stay connected.

Gloria was a ray of sunshine in the lives of all who knew her. She was quick to smile and her laugh was contagious. She faced every obstacle with courage. Her spirit was gentle but fierce, and her love—unconditional.

Gloria had a deep faith in God. She greatly enjoyed worshipping Jesus by attending a local Spanish church or by watching services online. She loved to sing along with the Alabanzas. Gloria shared her beliefs openly and with great conviction. It was her hope that all would come to know Jesus as their Saviour.

In her last few years, Gloria lived at The Village of Glendale Crossing where she received excellent care. The family would like to express our deepest gratitude for the support and love Gloria received from staff during those years.

A service and visitation will take place on Sunday, July 27, 2025 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Northview Funeral Home, 1490 Highbury Avenue North, London.
