You could always count on seeing her beautiful smile. Esmeralda liked waking up early to sit in her patio and drink her coffee. Gardening was one of her favorite things to do in her free time. She loved her plants! She was a great cook and loved to feed her family any chance she got. Everyone was a fan of not only her many meals but her famous flour tortillas. She loved spending time with her family and playing chalupa. She was very competitive when it came to winning. No one better touch her chalupa cards! She was a fashionista! She loved to shop and always wanted to have her outfit on point with accessories and all. She loved to travel and was ready for an adventure anytime anywhere, She would cherish every moment by taking photos everywhere she went. Collecting porcelain dolls was another one of her favorite things. She was a strong beautiful women with such a big heart always ready to help anyone she could, she was a wonderful mother and grandmother to all. Although she will be greatly missed she lived a life full of excitement and adventure and has left us with so many great memories to cherish of her.
