Cierra Kelsey Perez

Cierra Kelsey Perez- passed away suddenly on Monday, June 8, 2015, at the age of 20. She was born December 16, 1994 in St. George, UT, to Cristina Perez and Jimmy Garcia. A local Santa Clara resident, Cierra had inescapable charm and warmth which has touched and affected the lives of all those who had the pleasure of knowing her. Cierra is remembered by her family and five siblings as loving, selfless and willing to see only the good in others and in life. Cierra was born and raised in the heart of St. George, before moving to the Santa Clara Heights. She loved the scenic beauty of her hometown and would often take pictures (a favorite hobby) of the beautiful overcast and rainy skies nourishing the dry world around her. Cierra found work doing what she loved, offering her time and gifts as a child care provider at Country Kids in downtown Santa Clara. She loved the children there and in turn was loved by them. She would laugh and play with them which, was always the highlight of her day. Cierra was also a big strength to her community as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A proud alumnus of Snow Canyon High school, many can reminisce and remember fond memories of her in the school’s beautiful Green and Gold. She is survived by: her parents; Cristina Perez and Jimmy Garcia, siblings; Jeromy Perez, Jaylin Perez, Ashlee Perez, Jerryn Perez and Peyton Perez; grandparents; Kathy Perez, Frank & Maria Perez, Laura Rodriguez, and Alfred Garcia; and many cousins, aunts, uncles and others with fond feelings. The family would like to thank all those who have extended their hands of support, bringing food, household items, and other wishes of good-will; including all those who have contributed to the Cierra Perez Memorial fund on GoFundMe.
