Passing of former OA Transportation Vice Chairwoman Gladys Arroyo

It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of former OA Transportation Vice Chairwoman   Gladys Arroyo-Benitez. Gladys passed away Sunday 08/31/25. Gladys is the mother of our sister, Dispatcher Leona Babilonia. Gladys was a loyal and dedicated supporter of the TSO/TWU Local 106 and was someone you can always rely on to step up and get involved if called upon. Gladys lit up any room she entered with her great energy, spirit and zest for life. Gladys was the matriarch of her family and a leader when she was on Transit property.

Gladys will surely be missed by anyone that had the pleasure of knowing her and we ask that you keep Gladys and the Arroyo-Benitez family in your prayers in the time of mourning.

Services will be held at the Schuyler Hill Funeral Home, located at 3535 E Tremont ave, Bronx, NY on Sunday September 7th between 3pm and 7pm.
