Ciria A. de Heckroth, age 93, of Wallace passed away peacefully on Friday, June 14, 2024.

She was born on November 13, 1930 in Mexico; the daughter of the late Heleodoro Arroyo and Maria De La Luz Martinez.  Ciria was preceded in death by her husband, William Heckroth and her eleven siblings.

Bradshaw and husband Caleb and Ciria Lanier and husband Rob, Thomas Heckroth, Matthew Heckroth, Melissa Heckroth and Christina Heckroth; four great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved Ciria dearly.

Ciria was a loving mother and caring grandmother.  She was a classy lady who took great pride in her appearance.  No matter where Ciria went or what she was doing, she was always dressed 'prim and proper'.  Everything had to be in place, whether it was her hair, make-up or her clothing.  Ciria loved people and was loved in return.  She loved her native country, Mexico and always dreamed of going back there to visit her family and friends.  More than anything Ciria loved her family and would do anything she could for them as long as her health permitted.  Ciria will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remian in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
