  Gloria was born on March 30th, 1937 in Mosquera, Colombia to Victor and Carolina Roa. Gloria married her high school sweetheart Douglas Fraser, and they remained happily married for over 60 years. After moving to Houston, TX, Gloria founded Interlink Aviation Services.

  Gloria was an accomplished entrepreneur, as well as a very generous, witty, and dedicated individual who loved animals. She was passionate about the welfare of all animals, including rescuing wildlife as well as supporting many local animal shelters and rescue groups. Gloria will be remembered most for her caring spirit, and a beautiful heart which was always ready to lend a hand to a friend, family member, or animal in need.
