With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Ruby Sesma Arballo, age 75, on June 18, 2023. She was born to Ramon and Angelina Sesma on March 11, 1948, in Calexico, CA. Ruby graduated from Calexico High School class of 1966. She married, Ruben Arballo on November 22, 1969. Ruby became a loving mother to a son and daughter.

She worked at Border Motor Parts for over 30 years and loved to volunteer with scouting, baseball, and softball leagues as her kids took part.

We are thankful for the liver transplant she received in July of 1995, helping her enjoy the next 28 years of her life.

She is survived by three siblings, Irene Esquer (Henry) of Calexico, Norma Pantoja (Ramon) of El Centro, Fernando Sesma (Rocio) of Lakewood, CA; son, Ruben II of San Diego; daughter, Sabrina of El Centro; and four grandchildren, Julianne, Mia, Summer, and Aiden.

Thank you to the various doctors and caregivers supporting the Arballo family.

To know Ruby was to know love. Ruby always met you with a beautiful smile. We became close neighbors to Ruby and her handsome Ruben. The best neighbors ever. Ruben took care of Ruby until her recent passing. Their wedding vows were strong as he was with her through sickness and in health. May her spirit shine brightly with the stars above in Gods grace. We´ll love you always.
