Clara Jo Gallegos, age 55, of Bullhead City, AZ, passed away on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, after a bravely fought battle with cancer. Services will be at Palm Downtown Mortuary, 1325 N Main St, Las Vegas, NV 89101 on Saturday, October 8, 2022, at 11 a.m. The family has requested all to meet at the chapel by 10:30 a.m. Celebration of life services will follow at 1 p.m. at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall, 1601 E Washington Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89101.

Clara was born on October 7, 1966, to Harold and Wilma Peterson, in Ridgway, PA. Her brothers would describe her as a daddy’s girl who liked to have fun with friends. She spent her early years in Pennsylvania. After graduating from Johnsonburg High School she had her first son Joshua, followed by son Devin, and daughter Chelsea. She is survived by all three children and loved each dearly.

She spent her most recent years through sickness, the same as she spent her life, which was surrounded by friends she loved as family and having fun everywhere she went. She loved concerts, dancing and dates nights were a must as she hated to cook. Most recently she had the most fun being a biker babe with her husband. Traveling to the bike rallies were a normal part of their life and she enjoyed the camping and beaches along the way. Clara knew how to really live every moment.

She is survived by her husband, Frederick Gallegos Sr. They were wed in Las Vegas, NV on May 27, 2006 and were together for 22 years. She is also survived by her brothers; Richard (Nancy) Peterson, William (Cruz) Peterson, Carl (April) Peterson; her mother, Wilma Peterson; her children, Joshua McLelland, Devin Bryndel and Chelsea Bryndel; grandchildren, Eleanor Rossini, Nikola Bryndel, Eli Bryndel, Averie Bryndel, Triston Gallegos, Hunter Gallegos, Candace Gallegos and Zoey Gallegos. She was preceded in death by her father, Harold Peterson.
