Reuben Barrera Obituary
On April 17, 2014, Reuben died peacefully in his home with his loving wife, Saundra, and family by his side. In his final moments he was watching Holy Thursday mass on EWTN surrounded by a lot of love. Reuben was born and raised in San Francisco, attended E.R. Taylor Elementary, Portola Junior High and High School of Commerce. In 1951 he enlisted in the US Air Force where he was deployed to Japan and fought in the Korean War. Upon returning to the US, Reuben decided to be a part of the computer age. After 38 years as a Computer Systems Analyst with Wells Fargo Bank he retired to Willits. Reuben & Saundra celebrated over 53 years of marriage. They were blessed with five children – Charles, Denise, Mark, Tina and Annette and beautiful grandchildren: Michael, Danielle, Mark, Stephen, Michelle, Mitchell, Melissa, Christopher and Thomas. This past year they were blessed with a great-grandson, Gabriel. Reuben was a Eucharistic minister of St. Augustine's Catholic Church in So. San Francisco, as well as, St Anthony's of Padua in Willits. Reuben was a long-time member of the Italian Catholic Federation, Branch 213. He also belonged to the Monte Cristo Club in San Francisco and was a patron of the San Francisco Symphony. And through his generosity and sacrifice of his time for others…he will forever be remembered for loving well!
