Forever in Our Hearts
Aurora Valdez Santiesteban
June 11, 1957 ~ October 11, 2025
God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So, He put His arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
Aurora Valdez Santiesteban, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and dear friend, was called home to rest on October 11, 2025, at the age of 68.
Aurora was born on June 11, 1957, in Las Aguamitas, Sinaloa, Mexico, and later made Simi Valley, California her home in 1980. She built a beautiful life surrounded by love, laughter, and family.
Aurora will be lovingly remembered for her kind heart, joyful spirit, and the warmth she brought to everyone around her. She cherished spending time with her family, always filling their lives with laughter, love, and endless memories.
She enjoyed visiting casinos, shopping, and sharing special moments with her loved ones. Aurora also devoted many years of her life to caring for others as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), showing compassion and dedication in all that she did.
Aurora is survived by her beloved husband, Miguel Valdez; her three children, Maria, Victor, and Michael; her adored grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and many extended family members and friends who will miss her dearly.
Aurora's presence brought comfort, joy, and light to every life she touched. Though she is no longer with us, her love, strength, and kindness will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and all who knew her.
