Emily Cavazos Obituary

Emily Bernal Cavazos, age 85, went peacefully to be with the Lord on March 6, 2019. Emily was born to Jesus and Jesusita Bernal on December 14, 1933, in Garden City, Kansas. She was a long-time resident of Clovis, CA. Emily was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She worked for the City of Fresno in the utilities department for 32 years before retiring. Emily also owned and operated A&E Trucking for 25 years with her late husband Arthur. She was a very proud and wonderful woman known for her thoughtfulness, witty humor, enjoyment of life, and of course, her SF Giants. A woman of profound faith, Emily loved praying her Rosary, which she found comforting. Emily found joy in traveling and going on vacation with her family. She enjoyed dancing, bowling, and spending time with her grandchildren. She will be deeply and painfully missed, but her memory will be eternal. Emily is preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Arthur; granddaughter, Britteny Cavazos; brother, Jesus Bernal Jr.; and sister, Rosie Contreras. Emily is survived by her children, Patricia Montelongo and her husband John, and Art Jr.; grandchildren, Arty and his wife Samantha, Bianca, Jessica Marie and Celeste; and great-grandaughter, Kinsley. Also Gina Cavazos; Emily's sisters, Fern and Carmen Avila; and her brothers, Arthur, Robert and Luie Bernal. A Viewing will be held at Clovis Funeral Chapel on Monday, March 11, 2019 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., followed by Recitation Of The Holy Rosary at 6:00 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Our Lady Of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Clovis on Tuesday, March 12, 2019 at 10:00 a.m., interment to follow at Clovis Cemetery, Clovis, CA.

Emily and Carmen took me to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco and other places when I was there about 5 years ago. We missed the bus we were supposed to be on and Emily drove her car and we caught up with the bus. She was a very good driver!!! We had a great time. Rest in peace.
