Clarissa Ann Villarreal, born on December 1, 1961, in Lompoc, California, to Ronald and Silvia Villalobos, passed away surrounded by the love of her family. A devoted daughter, beloved wife, loving mother, and proud grandmother, Clarissa lived a life centered on family, love, and unwavering support for those she cherished most.

Raised in a close-knit and loving family, Clarissa grew up with her three sisters and one brother. She was also blessed with three brothers-in-law and one sister-in-law, whom she loved as part of her extended family. Annette (Raul Morales), Cecilia (James Baca), Adrienne (Scott Nunez), and her brother Andy (Stacy Villalobos). Growing up in such a large and supportive family helped shape Clarissa’s lifelong love for sports. She enjoyed both the excitement of the games and the togetherness they brought.

Her greatest joy, however, was spending time with her family—especially her grandchildren, Madison, Jacob, Jaidyn, EJ, and Thomas, who were the true pride and joy of her life. Clarissa could always be found cheering them on at their sporting events, celebrating milestones, and making memories that they will treasure forever.

Clarissa was a deeply devoted mother and a cherished mother-in-law to Sara (Mike Coleman), Stacey (Joel Rodriguez), and EJ (Jenn Villarreal), whom she loved with all her heart. Clarissa was also blessed to share a beautiful life with her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, Edward Villarreal. Their enduring love story was a testament to commitment, friendship, and true partnership.

Clarissa will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved her. Her passing leaves a tremendous void in the hearts of her family and friends, but the countless memories she created and the love she gave so freely will continue to provide comfort and strength for years to come.

Her legacy lives on in the family she adored and in the many lives she touched with her kindness, warmth, and unconditional love.
