Clara Prado Ruiz

Clara has now joined in heaven her husband, Cecil John Ruiz Jr; her son, Cecil John Ruiz III; her grandchild, Anthony Larry Rosales along with her loving parents, Santos and Isabel Prado. She is also preceded in death by her brothers: Edward, Samuel, Antonio, Carlos and her baby sister, Irene Casas.

Clara is survived by children, Kathy Castro, Elsa and Ron Gildner, Hector Sepulveda, David and Maddie Ruiz, Dean and Melissa Ruiz; grandchildren, Armando, Melanie, Krista, Alicia, Timothy, Jasmine, Jenna, Clarissa, Nicholas, Lee, Vivian, Lauren, Michael, and Chloe; a huge blessing of great-grandchildren and brother-in-law, Joe T. Casas.

Clara devoted her beliefs to the Catholic Church throughout her entire life. Her obedience to our Lord, God, has surely been rewarded as promised. In the early seventies, Clara completed school of training and received her certification which started her successful career as a CNA. She was highly effective to her patients and eventually became a certified private caretaker, specializing in Alzheimer's patients. Clara very much enjoyed her profession. She was also known for her enjoyment of cooking, traveling, and of course, bingo. Clara, without a doubt, was uncommonly very lucky.

Please join the family for a Celebration of Life Mass, Friday, January 28th at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, 3107 N. St. Mary's Street. Please bring your fond memories and stories to share with everyone. A small reception will follow after the services at the church hall.
