Muriel Roseleen "Gigi" Mora, 82, of Cortez, FL, passed away peacefully on July 5, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. The youngest of five children, all born and raised in Lakeland, FL, she spent much of her formative years in the charming communities of Bradenton Beach and Cortez, where she became known as the sweetest person one could ever meet.
Throughout her life, Gigi touched the hearts of many with her kindness, generosity, and positive, unwavering spirit. She had soft edges, laughed easily, and was always welcoming. Her gentle nature and compassionate heart made her a cherished relative, friend, and neighbor.
Gigi is preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Muriel Gorman, her brothers, Jerry and Eddie Gorman, and her sisters, Pat Gorman and Joan Pierce. She is survived by her three sons, Patrick (Linda), Blake (Barbara), and Nick (Lauren), daughters Keverly Sugden (Geoff) and Ansley (Robert), and nine grandchildren, plus a host of extended family and friends who will forever miss her gentle presence. Her favorite thing in the world was to be with family, to simply be in their presence, nothing else. Her legacy of love and kindness will live on in the memories of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
To celebrate Gigi, a catholic mass will be held at Ss. Peter and Paul the Apostles Catholic Church on Thursday, July 25, 11am (2850 75th Street West, Bradenton).
In lieu of flowers, and in memory of Gigi, the family requests that donations be made to St. Jude's Hospital, an organization close to her heart
