Maria del Carmen Esparza

She was born July 13, 1939, in the city of El Zape, Guanacevi, Durango, MX in a simpler and more pleasant time. She lived and grew up on my grandparents' ranch. She married my father José Esparza in 1963. She passed away April 17, 2024

We all dream of having a kind, caring, and genuine mother. Maria del Carmen was exactly that kind of mother. She guided us through years of hardship, joy, and accomplishment. Our mother was the rock of our family and without her it is sometimes difficult to know what to do or what will come next. We will miss her sayings, her jokes, her advice, and her scoldings. Thank God, I hear her voice in my mind constantly... I know everyone who knew her will miss her. I have so many precious memories! Thank you all for showing up today to honor my mother's memory and legacy. I know it would have warmed her heart to see you all here and we appreciate it so much!

She is survived by her two sons: Cesar Carl and Rene, her grandsons and granddaughters: Christopher, Sunshine, Harmony, Jacob, Jayde, Judah, Jewel, Sofia and Antonio, her great-grandchildren: Seth, Elijah, Levi, Jakob, Jayden, Kaysen, Drew, Lennon, and Zena

Beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she will be missed greatly as matriarch of the family and remembered always as beautiful lady who loved with all her heart.
