T. Claire Daroca Obituary

With light and love, upon the last moon of autumn, I share with the universe the passing of my mother, Tildy Claire Daroca. This spicy and charismatic woman was born on the 5th of November, 1947 on the lower east side of New York City and left this earth on the thunderous Colorado evening of July 31, 2023.

She was a true spirit-lifter full of passion, respect, honesty and truth. As her close circle knows, she laughed until she cried – finding humor and light in almost anything. Living in Evergreen for 42 years, her work as a therapist was dedicated to lending an ear and reflecting with a compassionate voice. Ever curious to learn and grow, she earned multiple degrees and impacted many lives over seven decades as a Montessori teacher, trusted friend and a mentor. In addition, she possessed a love of art and all things sensory, and she dearly cherished serving as a docent at the Denver Art Museum.

Always in our hearts and bones, she's remembered as an orchid dancing in the moonlight with a head full of dreams, forever young, always on fire, a golden rose shining upon crazy diamonds, a little wing riding the wind.

As winter closes in, may each person that she touched rest with her spirit, knowing that in the spring, with the melting snow, we will celebrate her with laughter, love and a feast. Please reach out to her son, Sky Daroca, to receive details ([email protected]).

And until then with enormous love, gypsy blackbird, fly.
