Esther Pacheco Obituary
Esther Joann Pacheco was born on May 27, 1943, in Raton, New Mexico, to Lola Gonzales and Onesimo Gonzales. With deep sadness, we announce her passing on January 20, 2026, in Arvada, Colorado.
Esther was married to the love of her life, Emilio Pacheco, for nearly 67 years. Together they raised six children: Felix Pacheco, Marc Pacheco, and Starr Pacheco, who preceded her in death, and Tim Pacheco, Valerie Pacheco, and Shannon Pacheco.
Esther was also blessed with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She adored all of her grandchildren and took great pride in her family.
Esther was a happy, loving person who brought warmth and joy to everyone she met. She especially loved spending time at the casinos and enjoying life to the fullest. Her kindness, laughter, and love for her family will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
