Carmelita "Lita" Clomera

October 8, 1944 – October 30, 2024

Carmelita “Lita” Clomera of Jurupa Valley, California was called home by our heavenly father Wednesday, October 30, 2024. She was 80 years old. She was a loving mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin and Godmother. Lita is survived her three children, Marc (Grethel), Mary Ann (Robert), and Matthew (Leslie); grandchildren, Marty, Bryce, Bailey, Ethan, Dominick and Isabella; siblings, Rolando (Sonia) Cruz, Herminia, Normita (Danny) Perez, Venerando (Thess) Cruz,; siblings-in-law, Phil Clomera, Sonia Clomera, Lynne Planas, Jack Clomera, and dozens of nieces, nephews, Godchildren and extended family members. Other than her faith in God, nothing was more important to Lita than her family.

She joins her husband of 57 years, Lino; parents, Apolinario and Pilar Cruz; parents-in law, Sinforoso and Artemia Clomera; sister, Milagros (Rody) Driza; brothers-in-law, Rene Planas and Teddie Dalistan; and sister-in-law, Sigrid Clomera, in their eternal home.

Lita was born in Manila, Philippines, October 8, 1944, and graduated from Far Eastern University with a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a minor in Spanish, as well as earning a Teaching Credential in the state of California. On January 30, 1966, she married the love of her life, Lino. They later welcomed three children, Marc, Mary Ann and Matthew. She worked as an assembler in the aerospace industry, retiring from BF Goodrich (previously Rohr) in 2011, after 37 years.

She was a supportive and loving grandmother, who enjoyed attending her grandkids’ extracurricular activities and academic ceremonies and proudly sharing their achievements with her family and friends. Until the last few years, Lita was active in religious activities and groups at several Catholic churches. It was through these activities that her spiritual family grew, and she left her legacy in the hearts of the many brothers and sisters in Christ that she met. Even when she could no longer attend these activities, she continued her profound devotion through daily meditation and prayers for all she knew and loved.

A visitation for Lita will be held Monday, December 2, 2024, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Montecito Valley View Chapel, 3520 E Washington St, Colton, CA 92324.
