Cecelia Pauline Mendoza

Cecelia Pauline Mendoza, 64, born on January 8. 1955 in Indio, California, passed away peacefully on January 14. 2019. She resided in La Quinta, California at the time of her passing. Cecelia is survived by her loving husband of 44 years, Antonio Mendoza, and her two sons: Kevin (& Erica), and Matthew. She is also survived by her three grandchildren: Cristian, Nathan, and Eric.

Cecelia loved being outside in nature playing with her dogs, reading, gardening, and feeding birds and squirrels. Her other hobbies included: antique shopping, painting, reading books, and helping others. She had a heart of gold that knew no limits when it came to helping others from family and friends to complete strangers. Her radiant personality captured the audience of the room as soon as she entered, that with her beautiful smile and exquisite fashion sense left an impression that will last a life time. She will truly be missed, but she will never be forgotten.

Arrangements are under the direction of Forest Lawn, Cathedral City, California.
