Claudia was a special and one-of-a-kind person to all of us that had the pleasure of meeting her. I always remember her positive energy in all of our encounters, no matter what troubles she may have been facing. Her commitment and energy were contagious, and made people want to help work towards a brighter and more inclusive future for all of us. I will remember Claudia for all she did helping the disadvantaged find their own place in computing, all while encouraging us to help her in this endeavor. Claudia will be missed by all of us that had the pleasure of meeting her. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones.

I was able to work with her over the past couple of years for the Google Tech Exchange program and she was such a great partner. She was a warm and kind person who went above and beyond for our students. She was a special person and will be sorely missed. 

Nuestros pensamientos y oraciones están con su familia.

Mrs. Casas was always so thoughtful, kind, and treated everyone with so much respect. I met her in a course she was teaching and got to know her more at the Grace Hopper conference.  She inspired me everyday to be the best version of myself and I’m forever thankful for all the help and guidance she gave me throughout my education. She will be missed. I am deeply saddened by the news of your loss. My most sincere condolences.

Mrs. Casas you were always so kind and helpful, always willing to go the extra mile to help anyone in need. I met you during the CAHSI Grace Hopper conference in 2018 and right away I saw your passion for empowering women in the STEM field. You were so kind to me and always said hi to me around the UTEP halls. You touched my life and inspired me to be more helpful and kind to others. You will be dearly missed. My deepest condolences.

La maestra Casas fue una de las primeras personas que creyó en mí durante mi carrera como estudiante en UTEP. Fue gracias a ella que empecé mi primer trabajo profesional, algo por lo cual le voy a estar eternamente agradecido, su puerta siempre estuvo abierta para aquel que necesitara ayuda. Lamento mucho su partida y le ofrezco mis condolencias a su familia. Muchas gracias por todo, maestra!

Claudia fue la primer persona en el staff de Computer Science con la que me pude relacionar y ver representada. Su calidez y empatía me abrazaron y recibieron para continuar/iniciar mis estudios y trabajar con usted cómo peer leader. Su alegría y ganas de ayudar a los estudiantes fue contagiosa. Muchas gracias Claudia por su servicio y amor. Le recordaré con mucho cariño.

Claudia was a very kind and welcoming person at UTEP. When I first joined, she always welcomed me with a smile that I will not forget. She will be missed. My deepest condolences to all her family members.

Claudia was a great friend to all of us at Computer Science department and at the whole CAHSI -- Computing Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions. And she was a  great helper to students. This was her passion. Always quiet and smiling -- and always very helpful. We will miss her. 

From the memories of taking our kids to school to the fun times we spent with the girls, I am a better woman and mother because of you.  Thank you, Claudia, my friend.  Your memory remains in all our hearts, but most importantly, your legacy remains with your beautiful daughters and loving husband.  …and don’t remind  me of the tamales!!  

Claudia,
Vivirás por siempre en nuestros corazones. Gracias por tu amistad incondicional. Fuiste ejemplo de lo que una mujer puede conseguir en todos sus roles, como profesional, como esposa, como madre, como hija, como nieta y como amiga! Que mucho te vamos a extrañar! Lo diste todo y siempre nos hiciste sentir especiales! Atesoro nuestros ultimos recursos y siento que se nos quedaron sueños por cumplir juntas!!! Te quiero un mundo!!!! 

I attended UTEP at the time she was there, and graciously invited me to work with her at the NASA lab where she lead a team of devs. I will always remember how kind, smart and driven she was. She thought me a lot about how an engineer show work, and how a good dev manager behaves. Now a days I lead a small team myself and the first thing I thought about was, I need to lead the team like Claudia. I am thankful for all that she did for me and many others. Claudia was someone I looked up to, I am very sorry for your loss.
RIP Claudia

Although we did not personally know Claudia, she touched our lives and drew us closer to knowing God by her extraordinary example as witnessed by many.  Claudia was a gentle, positive, hardworking and intelligent woman who gave herself as an amazing wife, mother and daughter. We thank God for sharing  her with us and for  welcoming her into his everlasting  embrace. 
Claudia's family,  may God comfort and grant you peace during these difficult times.
