Carmen Varela

With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, aunt, and sister. She was a gifted cosmetologist who spent her life helping others feel their best, and who found joy in her beautiful art work she shared. Her greatest pride was her grandchildren and great grandchildren who filled her days with many joyous memories. She shared many stories and song that will never be forgotten. She was always there for her siblings, and her many nieces and nephews who she adored as well.

We all will remember her warm smile, her generous heart and her feisty-fun personality. Carmen is survived by her children, her many grandchildren, and great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and siblings, all of whom carry a piece of her with them.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you share a memory of her!

A Church Service will be held at St. John’s Cathedral on October 1st at 10:30AM. Lunch to follow from 12:30PM to 3:00PM at Shield’s Memorial Chapel 406 W Shields Fresno, CA 93705.
