Angelina Ruiz Lárez, 84, met the Lord peacefully on Saturday, February 2, 2019.
Born on July 8, 1934, Angelina spent much of her childhood living in New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico. At age 16, she met the love of her life, Cleofás Lárez, to whom she was married for 67 years. The pair moved to Madera in 1957, where they were active members of Iglesia el Calvario for many years.

Angelina will be remembered for her fierce, loving devotion to her family. Her life's work was raising her seven children, and eventually her 28 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Above all, Angelina was a devout Christian. She spent each day in service and prayer to the Lord, and her family derives peace knowing that she is with him at last.
