Leading The Fight to Preserve Surety Bail For Bail Agents in California

IN MEMORIAM

GLORIA ANNE MITCHELL

1960-2025

Gloria passed peacefully after a tumultuous 16-year battle with cancer.

We mourn the loss of an icon, a leader and a true friend.

Gloria was a second-generation bail agent for 32 years. She served as CBAA president from 2016 to 2021.  She led us through some crucial and critical times when the bail profession was under threat of elimination in California.

Gloria was recently honored by President Donald Trump for her life of Public Service.

We ask that you respect her family’s privacy at this time.
