Gloria Patricia Rico

Gloria Patricia Rico passed away on December 3, 2018, in Nassau Bay, Texas, at the age of Fifty-Five years old.  Gloria was born on April 13, 1963 in Barranquilla, Colombia to Guillermo and Lucero Montoya.  She was an intellect that had many passions in life that included reading, music, movies, theater, and keeping up with current political events here in the United States and Colombia.  She kept her roots planted in her Catholic faith and nothing meant more to her in life than her friends and family.  She never hesitated to provide any assistance to those that were in need.  One trait that stood out amongst all was Gloria’s unprecedented ability to tell a story.  Gloria was preceded in death by her sister, Margarita Rosa, and her Father, Guillermo Montoya.  She is survived by her husband, Gonzalo Rico; two beloved sons, Sebastian and Nicolas; her mother, Lucero Montoya; sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews and countless other family and friends here in the United States and Colombia.  Services will be held to remember this loving individual on December 18, 2018 at 10:00am.  Mass and Memorial services will be held at Shrine of True Cross at 10:00 am (Address: 300 FM 517 Rd E, Dickinson, TX 77539).  Her ashes will be placed next to her father immediately after the service at Mt. Olivet Cemetery (Address:  7801 Gulf Fwy, Dickinson, TX 77539).  A Reception will take place at the Knights of Columbus Hall 4132 27th St E, Dickinson, TX 77539.  In lieu flowers, please make donations to cover medical expenses.  Donations will be accepted at service and reception.

  4. Siempre disfrute mucho de las charlas y relatos de Gloria Patricia. Tuve la fortuna de conocerla a través de mi hermana Adriana. Lamenté mucho la enfermedad que la agobiaba y en estos momentos el hecho de que ya no esté con nosotros. Pido por el eterno descanso de su alma y por sus familiares y amigos más cercanos, que en estos momentos sufren por su ausencia física.
