Cecilia was born on April 5, 1933 in the small, rural town of Powell, Wyoming, the daughter of Genoveva Reyna and Refugio Barron Gonzales. She passed away peacefully on May 25, 2020, asleep at home in the arms of her husband.
Cecilia is survived by her husband Jim, her daughters Margaret and Gloria, her son Nick, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild.
Cecilia was a very warm hearted and caring woman who always put others before herself and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Her interests included artistic endeavors, sewing, cooking, crochet, dancing, puzzles, watching sports, nature and gardening.
Visitation will be held at Pegg, Paxson & Springer Funeral Chapel, 4675 SW Watson Ave., Beaverton, Oregon on Sunday, May 31, 2020 from 10:00AM to noon. The funeral will be held at the same facility on Monday, June 1, 2020 at 11:00AM.
Cecilia will be laid to rest in Willamette National Cemetery, 11800 SE Mt. Scott Blvd., Portland, Oregon. In lieu of flowers, Cecilia would want those funds to be conserved for other uses in these difficult times.
She has not left us…Cecilia is here in the hearts of us all. She will always be here.
