Gloria J. Gallant

Gloria J. Gallant, of Leominster, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on December 13, 2025, surrounded by the love she so freely gave throughout her life. She was born on December 1, 1931, in Leominster, MA, and from that day forward touched countless lives with her kindness, faith, and unwavering devotion to others.

Gloria was a true woman of faith and service. She was an active and devoted member of Our Lady of the Lake Church in Leominster, where she also served faithfully as a secretary. Her compassionate spirit extended beyond her hometown through her volunteer work at St. Margaret’s Hospital in Illinois. Before her retirement, Gloria worked at the former Lubin’s Clothing Store, where she was known for her dedication, reliability, and warm presence.

She found joy in the simple and meaningful moments of life. Gloria loved traveling, reading, playing bingo and cards with friends, and especially treasured family game nights. These moments, filled with laughter and connection, were among her greatest happiness. Above all else, Gloria was a devoted and loving mother, and family was the center of her world. She cherished every opportunity to be surrounded by her loved ones and delighted in celebrating life’s moments—big and small—together.

She is survived by her son, Bruce (Joy) Gallant, and her daughter, Laurie Masood. She is also survived by her daughter-in-law, Debbie Gallant; 24 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild, all of whom were deeply blessed by her love.

Gloria was preceded in death by her parents, Vincent and Laura Sambito; her brothers, Vincent and Anthony Sambito; her sister, Marianne Sambito; her son, George Gallant; and her beloved husband, George Gallant, with whom she now rests in eternal peace.
