Cecilia Boschee

In Loving Memory of Cecilia Ayala Boschee July 20, 1938-June 21, 2025

Cecilia Rita Ayala Boschee was born on July 20, 1938, to Lawrence Ayala and Maxine Ayala Urena. Surrounded by the love of her family, she passed away peacefully on June 21, 2025.

Cecilia was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Ramon Ayala. She is survived by her sister, Consuelo “Connie” Chavez, along with her 10 children: AnnMarie Avalos and husband Richard, David Villareal, Mark Ramirez and wife Maria, Cynthia Hughes, Daniel Ramirez and partner Tom, Christopher Wright, Edwin Boschee Jr. and wife Kristie, Lawrence Boschee and wife Debbi, Barbara Boschee, and Michael Boschee and wife Alyssa. Cecilia leaves a growing legacy of 23 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and 5 great-great-grandchildren.

She was also a dedicated aunt to her many nieces and nephews.

Cecilia was raised in Piru and graduated from Fillmore High School. An active member of her community, Cecilia helped organize San Salvador’s “Jamaica” dances, served as president of the Piru Neighborhood Council where she helped launch the town’s very first Christmas parade, and dedicated time to the Piru Little League and the Piru Cemetery.

Though she worked a variety of jobs, Cecilia devoted much of her life to her role as a homemaker. She was a Dodgers fan, a puzzle enthusiast, and a gifted crocheter. Her handmade blankets, each one lovingly crafted, were given to family and friends as gifts to mark weddings, births, graduations, and other special milestones.

As we say goodbye to our mother and grandmother, we invite those touched by Cecilia’s life, especially those who received one of her blankets, to wrap themselves in the warmth of shared memories.

A memorial service will be held at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at San Salvador Mission, 4041 Center St., Piru, CA 93040, followed by a graveside service at the Piru Cemetery.
