Clotilde Dongo, age 74, passed away on the morning of May 20, 2026. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend.
She was born on January 18, 1952, in Peru to Rosa and Abraham Garcia. She grew up in Lima, Peru.
Clotilde was known for her kindness, sense of humor, and love of trying new foods, going to the beach, and spending time with her loved ones. She found great joy in the simple pleasures of life—reading her Bible each day, which brought her comfort and strength, and caring for her beloved puppies, Chip and Gaia, who were her faithful companions. Clotilde loved to dance, bringing energy and laughter to any gathering. Above all, she cherished time spent with her family and friends, whether sharing meals together, celebrating special occasions, or simply enjoying each other's company. Her home was always filled with warmth, good food, and the sound of loved ones gathering around her dining room table watching Spanish-language television. Her love, wisdom, and generosity touched countless lives and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Patricia and David; grandchildren Isabel, Sofia, Jovan, and Joshua; sisters; nieces and nephews; and cousins here and in Peru.
She was preceded in death by her daughter, Rosa A. Garcia, who passed away on March 21, 2013.
