Clotilde Leal

Born on June 3, 1946, Clotilde lived a life rooted in love, resilience, and quiet strength. She carried herself with grace through the years, touching the lives of those around her with kindness, warmth, and a gentle spirit that will never be forgotten.

Above all, Clotilde was devoted to her family. She was a loving mother to Velma Valdez and Merced Valdez III, whom she nurtured with unwavering care and guidance. Her love extended even further as a grandmother, a role she embraced wholeheartedly, filling her family’s life with comfort, wisdom, and countless tender moments.

Her home was a place of warmth and belonging, where laughter was shared, stories were told, and love was always present. Those who knew Clotilde will remember her for her compassionate heart, her quiet strength, and the way she made everyone feel seen and valued.

She is survived by her children, Velma Valdez (Albert Valadez) and Merced Valdez III, and her beloved grandchildren Lisa Torres, Marissa Castaneda, Zandon Valdez, Zavannah Valdez, Zevon Valdez and Sylvie Alviar and numerous great grandchildren, who will continue to carry her love and memory in their hearts.
