Gloria Kay Cody, affectionately known as "Momo" and "Aunt G," passed away peacefully on June 24, 2024, at the age of 66. She was born on July 21, 1957, in Pampa, Texas, to Charles and Minnie (Pierce) Welch. Gloria spent her early years in Oklahoma, settling in the Chelsea area and later attending Chelsea schools.

During her youth, Gloria met Lester Robinson, whom she married on June 9, 1973. She dedicated herself to raising and caring for her family, moving to Perryton, Texas, in the mid-80s. Gloria worked diligently for Perryton Equity before returning to Oklahoma in 1995, eventually making Tulsa her home. There, she served as a leasing agent for Case and Associates until her retirement due to health reasons.

In her spare time, Gloria found joy in cooking, specializing in dishes like chicken noodles, posole, and her famous Thanksgiving ham. She also cherished fishing outings but treasured most the moments spent with her family. Known for her generous, humorous, and kind-hearted nature, Gloria touched the lives of all who knew her.
