Cleo was a single mom who raised three boys, two of which are only 10 months apart. As a divorced mother, she continued her college education, until she slipped and broke her tailbone (coccyx). The doctors said she would be wheelchair bound for five to seven years. Instead, she stubbornly did therapy daily for a year at which time she gave up the wheel chair. When Cleo was denied spousal retirement benefits, she was one of the women who fought for the enactment of the "Ex-spouse Social Security Benefits Law". For many years she was involved in the Washington DC area and helped start Ayuda, a Hispanic help organization.
Cleo was a master Graphologist, the study of handwriting. One day while studying her own handwriting, she noticed changes and told her doctor as it was health related. Skeptical, after tests, the doctors discovered a life threatening tumor in her kidney. Once removed, her handwriting returned to normal.
But most importantly, for all her hardships and life experiences, Cleo was a woman who was always there for her sons.
