CIARA EIRIZ Obituary
Age 20, of Upper St. Clair, unexpectedly on Tuesday, July 30, 2019. Dear daughter of Carlos Manuel and Liza Lopez Eiriz; maternal granddaughter of Mila Lopez, Dr. Carmelo Lopez and Robert Clark; paternal granddaughter of Clara Lourenco Eiriz and the late Abilio Alves Eiriz; loving sister of Isabela Lopez Eiriz; god daughter of Dr. Leo Lopez and Ellen Hancovsky; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Ciara embodied what life was all about. She lived every day to its absolute fullest and never went anywhere without her beautiful smile. A smile that lit up an entire room, followed by that laugh of hers that would turn anyone's bad day into a good one. She was a friend to all and the brightest light in all of our lives. Ciara grew up in the South Hills of Pittsburgh where she attended Upper St. Clair High School and was a member of the dance team. After high school, Ciara continued on at Indiana University of Pennsylvania where she was a senior Fashion Merchandising major and a member of the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority. Ciara's life revolved around her family, Liza, her mother, Bela, her sister, her loving boyfriend, Shane Magnifico, and friends whom she adored. She had the kindest heart of anyone you could ever hope to meet. Ciara was loved immensely by all of those friends and family members whose hearts she will now live in forever. She was truly an angel among us with a soul too beautiful for this earth. Our goal now is to honor the memory of our sweet Ciara in the best way that we can. Friends welcome Saturday and Sunday 2-4, 6-8 p.m., FREYVOGEL-SLATER FUNERAL DIRECTORS (412-835-1860) 112 Fort Couch Rd, Bethel Park (Opposite Macy's South Hills Village). Mass of Christian Burial 10:00 a.m. Monday in St. Thomas More Church. In lieu of flowers, donations requested to the Alzheimer's Foundation, 1100 Liberty Ave Suite E 201, Pgh, PA, 15222. www.slaterfuneral.com

Liza and I were co-workers years ago, and I met both the girls in car seats (I think) in her car as we met to exchange some work material. God will take care of her and those left behind. My prayers for all;

The girls and I have sweet memories imprinted on our hearts forever of you girls all growing up together. At every communion graduation birthday and various family get togethers, I watched as you found ways to re-bond after every absence from our separate geographies. Your smile was infectious and our memories of you will be carried in our hearts. We love you princess forever. Tita Laurie Janie Aunna Gea and Leyla. Love

They shine a little brighter, they feel a little more
they touch your life in ways no one has ever done before
They love a little stronger, they live to give their best
They make our lives so blest, so why do they go so soon?
The ones with souls so beautiful
I heard someone say..
They must be borrowed Angels, here in this life
They come along , into this world, and make this word bright
But they can't stay forever
Cause they're heaven sent
And sometimes, heaven needs them back again.
They reach a little deeper, they see what's in your soul
And even when they leave you know, you'll never let them go
The world's a little richer, just cause they came along
Their love goes on and on...
RIP beautiful Ciara...

I will carry your memory in my heart! God has brought an angel home!you will be missed and not forgotten! One day I will see you again!
