Clorinda Pino De Salazar

Mrs. Clorinda Pino De Salazar, of Waltham, died Sunday, February 8, 2026 In Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. She was 84.

Clorinda was born in La Libertad, Peru on January 1, 1942, a daughter of the late Teodoro Pino Roldan and Juana Barrios Rodriguez. Her father passed away when she was young and she did not have the easiest life growing up. Those early struggles taught her lessons that no school could give, the importance of hard work, keeping family close, and the value of education. She carried those lessons with her and made sure to pass them on to her children.

She moved to Lima as a young woman, where she met her husband, Damian Salazar Unton. They married and built a life and family together.

Clorinda worked in the restaurant business in Peru and kept her love of cooking throughout her life. She was known for her delicious meals and had a special talent for making everyone feel welcome at her table. She also enjoyed crocheting.

Faith was at the center of Clorinda’s life. She read the scriptures often and lived her beliefs with quiet strength. She was a devoted mother, protective, sometimes strict, but always guided by love. She taught her children to be responsible, to save what they could, and to stay humble no matter how much they achieved. She was generous with whatever she had, whether food, clothing, or her time, and was always ready to help others.

Clorinda leaves her husband, Damian Salazar Unton; her Children, Yrma Orlanda Salazar Pino (Victor Osores Aguilar) of Waltham, Escarlet Soledad Salazar Pino (Jose Luis Cardenas Mendez) of Pamplona, Spain, Wilda Teodosia Salazar Pino (Adalberto) and Gerardo Walter Salazar Pino (Ofelia) of Lima Peru ; 12 grandchildren ; 7 great-grandchildren, including Sophia Noelia Osores and Luna Evelyn Osores; and many nieces and nephews.
