“Ruby”
Guadalupe Okamura Lopez
“Call when you get home…”
Ruby passed away peacefully on March 15th, 2011 at home surrounded by her family.
Ruby loved bowling, gardening, laughing with her sisters, shopping with her daughters and lunching with her son. Her lasagna and spaghetti was legendary. She was devoted to her family and friends and was always willing to listen to the troubles of others. Ruby was a very loving, humble and gracious woman. She was a giving and wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter, sister and aunt.
She is survived by her children Mike (Kelly), Silvia (Jeff), Zsa (Rod); grandchildren Eric, Stacie, Corrie, Nathan, Lindsay, Alexandria, Mariesa, Christina; great-grandchildren Kade, Taylor, Adison, Talon, Paytyn, Noah, Reagan, Khloye (and one on the way); her 101.6 year-old mother, Angelina Okamura; siblings Frank, Esther, Joe, Linda; and numerous extended family members.
Preceded by her husband of 53 years, Gilbert Lee Lopez, her father Yoheiji Okamura and sister Merrie Louie.

Don’t worry Grandma, we will all be good,
drive safely, bring Kleenex and wear socks!
