It is with profound love and deep respect that we announce the peaceful passing of Antonia Nelida Claros, a cherished matriarch, beloved mother, grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. Antonia departed this world on April 15, 2026, at the age of 89, surrounded by the warmth and comfort of her family and home in Houston, Texas. Antonia was born on June 13, 1936, in the vibrant city of Cochabamba, Bolivia, to her devoted parents, Francisco Claros and Elvira Quiroga.
