Gloria Ann Passadino 

Our beloved Gloria Ann Passadino was born in Brooklyn, New York on 
March 29, 1936. She left us after a wonderful life to be with the 
Lord on September 4, 2009. As a child Gloria was raised by her 
foster family. She met Robert L. Jackson Sr. and married him when 
she was 21. Gloria lived in the Tacoma area since 1975. She was 
extremely faithful and caring to her friends, family and all 
animals. She is especially proud of graduating from the University 
of Washington, and worked as a DSHS Case Manager. After a 35 year 
search, Gloria, then 63, was able to locate and meet her birth 
family, who originated from Sicily, Italy. A loving mother and 
grandmother, Gloria is survived by her three children, Jeanne-Marie 
Cook, Robert Lawrence Jackson Jr., and Jacquelyn Mary Moore, and 
five grandchildren, Christina, Jessica, Sandra, Carl and Robert. 
"Mom, you will forever be in our hearts." A celebration of Gloria's 
life will be held at the chapel at Calvary Cemetery, Tacoma, WA at 
12pm on Friday, September 11, 2009 with graveside services to 
follow. Arrangements by Tuell-McKee Funeral Home, 253.272.1414. For
