Nurse Raquel Clayton Passed Away

To our Friends and Family Members,

The Family of Raquel (Gonzales) Clayton would like to announce our beautiful Raquel has passed away. To those whom LOVE Raquel as much as us, there are no words to express how sad we are to make this announcement. As a family full of love, care and tradition, we wish we were communicating under better circumstances. Raquel was a Covid-19 Nurse at Kaiser of Richmond, CA working directly with sick patients that needed her the most. Her life was dedicated to giving to others, she was a graduate from Notre Dame Elementary, St. Francis High School and California State University or Sacramento. Everywhere she went, from Japan to the Philippines she left a POSITIVE impression on the people she interacted with. In fact, I can attest she left this world and the people in it with smiles on our faces whenever we think about the times we shared with her. Thank you all for your prayers and positive thoughts for our family in this time of crisis. It has also been very helpful to hear the individual stories about how Raquel touched your lives. It brings joy to our hearts knowing she was as impactful to your lives as she was to ours.

This is a very difficult time for us all, the accident was especially hurtful due to the youthful and amazing person Raquel was. It happened so suddenly and tragically that it truly makes the funeral arrangements extremely hard to navigate. We’ve created this site for all of the people that have reached out and requested that they’d like to donate to the funeral arrangements. Thank you.

We have made arrangements to bury Raquel at the end of the month and will push out more information regarding that when it’s appropriate.
