Ann Guerra passed away peacefully on April 25, 2020 surrounded by her loving family. Ann was born May 16, 1930 in Gilroy, CA to Clemente and Frances Balcita.

They married on October 1, 1949 and had five children – Gregory (Maria), Chris, Annette, Serge and Glenn. Ann had 9 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren who she poured endless hours of love and time into. Ann enjoyed sewing, crafting, playing her ukulele, gardening, music, and watching all her grandchildren in any activity or sport they were doing. She loved to keep her mind active with jigsaw, sudoku, and crossword puzzles. Ann dedicated her life to her family; they were the center of her universe and her whole heart. She was a gentle soul who was full of love for those around her. She loved everyone unconditionally. Ann will be missed tremendously by all who knew her. She is preceded in death by her parents Clemente Balcita, Frances Molina, siblings Manuel Balcita, Juanita “Betty” Siroy, Tony Balcita, and Clement Balcita Jr. She is survived by her husband Ray, her five children, 9 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, as well has her brother Rufino (Becky) Molina, sister Dolores (Tom) Sanchez of Stockton, CA and sister Laura Balcita of Hayward, CA. There will be a private burial for immediate family only. A formal memorial service for extended family and friends will come at a later date.

Never would I imagine that it would be this hard to say "see you later". I miss you so very much. Our house is not the same without you. You are the strongest woman I have ever met. The battles you endured just to breathe everyday. You taught us so many things but the one thing that stands out the most is your UNCONDITIONAL LOVE you have for your family. Even when it's hard to love us, your love never failed. I hope I can be half the mother and woman you are. I love you so much. FLY WITH THE ANGELS GRAM I MISS YOU ALWAYS

Tita Ann was the most special soul. I feel so blessed to have known and loved her. Her smile and her joy were contagious. She was always genuinely happy to see you, and you could feel the love in the room when she was around. I will miss her always, but am glad she is reunited in heaven with her parents and siblings. I hope my dad was there to greet her, and I can't wait to hug them both again.
