She received many awards for her artistic work and writing, including a national first-place award from the National Poetry Foundation and several Addy awards for commercial production for ABC television. She was a passionate reader and achieved the highest academic honors in her educational endeavors. She was also a phenomenal cook and her culinary creations will be missed by all who knew her.

Gilda is survived by her only child, Stefanie Gallegos, son-in-law, David Sundberg, and one grandchild, Una Sundberg, all of Santa Fe. She is also survived by her stepfather, Chesley Webber, USN (Ret) of Somerset, siblings in Virginia, Kentucky, and Kansas, and several nieces and nephews.
