Clara Cisneros Carranza
Clara Cisneros Carranza, a 60 year resident of Houston, TX passed away at her home with family by her side on June 19, 2016. Mrs. Carranza was born in Corpus Christi, TX on January 10, 1936.
Clara was a loving wife and mother with a youthful, loving spirit that kept the family together. Her family was her joy. Raising her children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews will always be her pride and joy. She enjoyed gardening, her beautiful flowers, the beauty of nature, and collecting dolls. She embraced memories of events, trips, visits, and most of all her collection of photos of each individual to keep them as close as possible. Each momento she kept, no matter how small, she was able to describe who, where, when, and what it reminded her of. Her love will always be in our hearts.
Mrs. Carranza was preceded in death by her mother, Guadalupe Cisneros Morales, her sister Tomasa Cisneros, son-in-law Bill Pitts, and daughter-in-law Hollie Carranza.

I will always be grateful for the time I spent with Tia when I first moved to Houston. Even if I didn’t always we her when we met again it was as if we were never apart. She was a hoot to be around. Love you Tia. RIP
