Gloria Newson

Gloria Newson was a woman who adopted Gavin, Ginger, Gabriella, Gallagher, Garrett, and Gloria. She died before the start of The Sims 2: Apartment Life. She doesn't appear on her adoptive children's family trees and is only mentioned in Ginger Newson's biography:

Ginger was a troubled child with a troubled past before flowering under the loving kindness of her adopted mother, Gloria. With Gloria gone, Ginger faces the unknown challenges of being an adult and acting as a mother to her siblings.
