Cleofas Olivas-Ortega was born on April 9th in 1941 in Durango, Mexico and passed away on January 14th, 2025.
At the start of the 1970s, she and her husband, Santiago Ortega, along with their children, Josefina, Jesus, Rita, Juan and Hector, established their home in Tijuana, Mexico where they lived for several years. It was during that time that she was blessed with the birth of her sixth child, Javier. Nearing the end of the 70s they decided to immigrate to Los Angeles, California where they settled and lived for many years. During her time in Los Angeles, she gave birth to her last child, Edgar. Cleofas was an active member of her church, St. Thomas Catholic Church where she joined the evangelization group Carisma en Misiones. At the beginning of the 1990’s they decided to move to Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2007, she suffered the great loss of her husband, Santiago Ortega. She lived and spent the last of her days in Las Vegas. Cleofas was a devoted wife and a deeply loved mother by her seven children, Josefina, Jesus, Rita, Juan, Hector, Javier, and Edgar. She was an incredibly warm grandmother and great-grandmother to twelve grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She opened her doors to an infinite number of people and shared her home, especially with her niece, Angelica, as well as with her sons’ friend, Bryan. Known for her compassion for others, adventurous spirit, and ability to unite her family around a home cooked meal, she has made a lasting impact on her loved ones. Her dedication to her faith assisted in guiding others toward strengthening their relationship with God. Everyone who knew her will deeply miss her generosity and willingness to extend a helping hand. Cleofas’ descendants wish her a peaceful eternal rest.

Salmo 23
El Señor
es mi pastor,
nada me faltará.
2 En lugares de
verdes pastos me hace descansar;
junto a aguas de reposo me conduce.
3 Él restaura mi alma;
me guía por senderos de justicia
por amor de su nombre.
4 Aunque pase por el valle de sombra de muerte,
no temeré mal alguno, porque tú estás conmigo;
tu vara y tu cayado me infunden aliento
