Su familia y amigos la llamaban cariñosamente “Mami Coty”.  También era conocida como “Million Dollar Gal” por Sylvia Tabet Griego y su familia.  Clotilde siempre se preocupó por el bienestar de su familia.  Era resistente, con los pies en la tierra y trabajadora y lograba todo lo que se proponía.  Disfrutaba de muchos pasatiempos, como la jardinería, el baile, la música (huaynos peruanos), los animales y, especialmente, el Sudoku.  Era activa, aventurera y siempre estaba dispuesta a probar cosas nuevas.   Incluso comenzó a esquiar en la nieve.  A Clotilde le gustaba la música.  En su juventud escribió, compuso y cantó sus propias canciones.

La religión era una gran parte de su vida.  Clotilde tenía devoción por el Niño Jesús, y siempre participaba en la celebración navideña del Niño Jesús en San Pedro de Cajas.  Un año, Clotilde junto a su esposo Julio Francisco (que en paz descanse) se sintieron felices y orgullosos de ser los mayordomos de esa celebración en el Perú.  También fue miembro de la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe en Colorado Springs, CO.

Clotilde León Yurivilca, age 56 years old, passed away on May 21, 2024 at her home in Colorado Springs.  She was a resident of Colorado Springs for the last 12 years.  She was also a resident of Nevada (one year) and was raised in San Pedro de Cajas, Peru.  Her greatest roles were that of wife and mother.  Clotilde was also a farmer, rancher, seamstress, knitter, housekeeper and caregiver.

  1. Coti was sent to earth as an angel from God. She was hard working with the innocence of a child. She lit up with things around her like flowers, growing vegetables and plants and with people. She loved playing games with Dad like throwing the ball, marbles and ring toss. She loved to the depth of her core. She not only greeted me with a hug but a back rub, especially during the years as we took care of our very sick mom, she knew our heartache and would just hold us tight. I’m happy she is in the arms of our Lord Jesus. We will miss her desperately. We will not stop praying for her boys, Franz and Julio that carry on her strength and her love. May Jesus give them peace as well as Hilde, Mario and Victor and her extended family. ❤️‍🩹

  2. She also knew the day my Mom was going to pass. She left a picture of angels that very morning in our daily journal. My mom loved her dearly. The million dollar gal!

  3. Mis condolencias para Franz Julio y toda la Familia Leon Yurivilca por la pronta partida de Coti Dios les de mucha Fortaleza en estos momentos Dolorosos y que Dios lo tengue en su Santa Gloria a Coti Descanza en paz y desde el cielo Bendice a tus hijos y toda tu familia 🙏🙏

  4. Clotilde was always one of favorite people when I worked with her at Embassy. She was always hardworking and her smile could warm the room. I lost track of her after she left and am heartbroken 💔 she has left this world. Franz, my heart and prayers go out to you and your family at this difficult time. She is with her Nino Jesus now, healthy and smiling. 🙏
