Maria Espinoza

Maria Espinoza, a beloved Wife, Mother, and Grandmother, peacefully departed from this life on May 5, 2023. She embraced her faith in God and found solace surrounded by her cherished family, who provided her unwavering support and love. The comforting presence of the rosary and the loving embrace of her dear ones provided Maria with strength throughout her journey. Maria was born on November 26, 1948, in Cualcoman Michoacan, to Catarino Sanchez and Gregoria Espindola. In 1971, she entered into a marriage filled with profound love and devotion with Heriberto Espinoza. For 52 remarkable years, their union blossomed, serving as a testament to their unwavering bond and true love. Maria's legacy lives on through her adoring husband, Heriberto Espinoza, and their children: Saul Espinoza, Alejandra Gutierrez, Claudia Espinoza, and Araceli Nava. Furthermore, her light shines brightly through her beloved grandchildren: Eric Gutierrez, Julie Espinoza, Alejandra Gutierrez, Camila Espinoza, Gabriel Nava, Saul Heriberto Espinoza, and Mateo Nava. Maria's presence will also be dearly missed by numerous cherished members of the Espinoza-Sanchez families and her friends. Maria will forever be remembered for her warm hospitality, both at home and in the family's restaurants, her innate beauty and passion for fashion, her profound involvement in the lives of her grandchildren, her joy in the company of friends and her love for golfing, her early risings and tireless work ethic, and her competitive spirit as a skilled domino player. If you were fortunate enough to be her partner in the game, victory was assured. To honor Maria's memory, the family invites all who knew and loved her to attend a rosary at Salser and Dillard Funeral Chapel in Visalia, California, on Tuesday, May 16, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. A mass of Christian service will be held at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Visalia, California, on Wednesday, May 17, at 9:00 a.m. These gatherings will serve as opportunities to come together, celebrate Maria's remarkable life, and find solace in the love and support of one another. Services have been entrusted to Salser & Dillard Funeral Chapel. Memorial Tributes and condolences may be offered by logging onto www.salseranddillard.com.
