Clothilde Madeline Gonzales, 87, of Bossier City, Louisiana, passed away on March 24, 2026. Born October 3, 1938, in Hamburg, Louisiana. Clothilde was a dignified and loving presence to all who knew her.
Clothilde worked at Blue Grass Liquor Distribution as a receptionist before later becoming a bank teller, where she ultimately retired. Through her years of work, she was known for her steady dedication and the quiet professionalism she brought to each day.
She loved to read books and enjoyed making crafts, including plaster pieces for wall décor. Most of all, Clothilde loved to sing and dance—simple joys that reflected her spirited heart. She also treasured time with her children, especially playing “I Spy,” and she faithfully cheered for her kids at football games, offering constant encouragement and support.
