Maria Tabares Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Castillo Funeral Home on Feb. 13, 2026.
Con profundo pesar anunciamos el fallecimiento de María Elena Esparza Tabares, quien partió a descansar en la paz del Señor el 28 de enero de 2026, a la edad de 78 años.
María Elena fue precedida en muerte por su padre, Luis Esparza, su madre, Tomasa Tabares Esparza, así como por una hija, varios tíos y una sobrina.
La recuerdan con amor sus hijas, Elena Terrazas y Eliana Terrazas, y su esposo, Roberto Olivares. Su legado continúa a través de sus nietos: Eduardo, Joel, Juan, Alexia, Marely Cruz, Roberto, Rodrigo Olivarez, Luis, Lionel y Ángel Terrazas, y sus bisnietos, Iris y Edward Cruz. También le sobrevive su hermana, Margarita Esparza.
María Elena dedicó su vida a su familia y a su fe. Sirvió con devoción a su comunidad enseñando catecismo durante muchos años y guiando espiritualmente a numerosos niños. Su corazón bondadoso, su presencia serena y su amor incondicional serán profundamente extrañados por todos quienes tuvieron el privilegio de conocerla.
Que descanse en paz, envuelta en la luz eterna de Dios.
