CLARISA TOVAR Obituary

CLARISA ADRIANA PEREZ TOVAR McALLEN - Clarisa Adriana Perez Tovar, 42, went to be with the Lord on Friday, November 6, 2015 in Edinburg. Clarisa was born on August 29, 1973 in McAllen, Texas to Hector and Graciela Perez. Clarisa is preceded in death by her grandparents, Fidel and Sofía Peña and Gilberto and Guadalupe Pérez. Clarisa attended Jackson Elementary, Lamar Middle School and Memorial High School. At University of Texas Pan American she earned a bachelor's degree in Education, a Master's degree in Educational Administration and a Master's in Reading. She grew up believing in education. Clari taught Kindergarten and also third grade at Navarro Elementary. After that she went first to Garza Elementary and then to Sam Houston Elementary where she was assistant principal. For the last 10 years she was the McAllen ISD Assessment Coordinator for Elementary Education. She served the education community in McAllen for 18 years. She was a loving wife, and best friend, to Mark for seventeen years. Clari was a devoted and loving mother to Miguel, Caleb and Caitlin. Clarisa showed her belief and love of education in the way she dedicated herself to caring for her own children and their education, not only their learning in school but also in the education of her high standards and faith in God. Her family was always first in her life. The Pérez/Tovar families know that Clari earned so much love and admiration by the way our community has shown their love and support for us. We will never be able to finish saying thank you to all.
