a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend who left
this world peacefully at the age of 80 on December 15, 2024 surrounded by her loved
ones. Cleo was a light in the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Cleo grew up surrounded by love and carried that spirit with her throughout her life.
She was a woman full of faith, warmth, kindness, and energy qualities that touched all
who crossed her path. Known for her loving nature and outgoing personality, Cleo
never met a stranger. her laughter was infectious, and her home was always open,
filled with joy, stories, and food that brought family and friends together.
Cleo had a unique way of making everyone feel seen and loved. whether it was her
endless hugs, thoughtful advice, or encouraging words, she poured love into every
moment. She was a source of strength and support for her family. Though Cleo is no

taught us; to love without limits, laugh without hesitation, and live life to its fullest.
