Elva Mendez Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Elva dedicated 26 years of her life working as a housekeeper, taking great pride in her work and caring deeply for the people she served. Her hard work, faith, and love for others reflected the strength and character she carried every day.
She is survived by her husband, Margarito Mendez, and her loving children, Rene Ramos (Claudia Sandoval) Rosemary Escalante, Julie Ortiz (Raul Ortiz Jr.), and Eligio Ramos (Vanessa Ramos), along with their families. She was a proud grandmother of 15 grandchildren and a cherished great-grandmother of 21 great-grandchildren.
She will be lovingly escorted to her final resting place by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Rene Escalante, Adrian Escalante, Cornelio Sanchez III, Cesar Esquivel, Rene V. Ramos, AJ Ramos, and Christian Robinson.
Though dementia took pieces of her memory, it could never take away her essence,
her laughter, strength, and unconditional love for her family. Elva's legacy will continue to shine through the generations she leaves behind.
Rest peacefully, Elva. Your spirit will forever live on in our hearts.
