Gloria Elizabeth Tian

Gloria White Tian, 52, passed away peacefully at home on December 13th in Tequesta, Florida, lovingly encircled by her family. Gloria was born in West Palm Beach, FL on October 10, 1972, to Ralph and Mary Beth White. She graduated from Cardinal Newman High School in 1990 and following graduation, she attended St. Leo College in St. Leo, Florida. In 1998, Gloria met and married her husband of 26 years, Ronald Tian. Five years after the two were married, they welcomed their precious daughter, Carrigan, into their home. Gloria was so proud to be a mom and very much enjoyed helping at her daughter’s school. In addition to devoting time to her beloved daughter, Carrigan, Gloria was a talented Interior Designer and had a passion for transforming each home into a reflection of her customer’s unique personality and taste. Gloria had an incredibly giving and generous heart, dedicated and passionate about changing the world, one charitable act at a time… Gloria’s faith was at the core of who she was, and she worked hard to instill and foster this faith in her family. Gloria was an active member of Generation Church in Jupiter and often volunteered there. Gloria founded the Generation Church Cancer Support Group at the time of her initial diagnosis and others will carry on her legacy, providing much needed and appreciated support and encouragement to those battling this horrific disease. Gloria was witty and always smiling- she loved to make others laugh! You could take one look into those beautiful green eyes and say to yourself, “Gloria’s up to something!” Her spirit and love will live on through those whose lives she touched and made better for having been a part of and she will forever be in our hearts. Gloria is survived by her husband, Ronald J Tian and her daughter, Carrigan Tian, both of Tequesta, FL; her parents, Ralph T and Mary Beth White of West Palm Beach, FL; her brother, Ralph Thomas White and her sister- in- law, Kelly White of North Palm Beach, FL; her aunts, Barbara White Schultz of Hobe Sound, FL and Phylis Farrell of Devon, CT; her uncle, Paul Farrell of Saint Cloud, FL; and numerous family members and friends. Funeral Services will be held on Thursday, December 19th, at 1:00PM, at Generation Church 430 Center St Jupiter, FL. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Gloria’s life. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donating to Generation Church in Gloria’s memory. (https://generationchurch.com/give/)
