June 2, 1988 – January 24, 2026

Mitzela "Missy" Pacheco passed away on January 24, 2026, in Manteca, California, at the age of 37. She was born on June 2, 1988, in Santa Clara, California, to Rudolfo and Maria Diaz.

Missy was a loving wife, devoted mother, and cherished family member whose presence brought warmth, laughter, and love to everyone around her. On May 4, 2007, she married the love of her life, Joshua Pacheco. Together, they built a beautiful life and were blessed with two children, Yazmin and Julian, who were the center of Missy's world.

She is survived by her husband, Joshua Pacheco; her children, Yazmin, Julian, and Hunnybuns (Jaydan); her godchildren, Izzy (Isreal), Litos (Carlos) and Gordies (Penny); her cousin, Chastity; her niece, Makayla; her nephews, Joshua and Antonio; and her brother, Rudy Diaz. Missy was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Rudolfo and Maria Diaz.

Missy had a vibrant spirit and loved making memories with her family. She enjoyed traveling-especially trips to Las Vegas, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Los Angeles. She was a proud Raiders fan and loved shopping, especially for purses. Missy enjoyed getting her nails done, pampering herself, spending time at the beach, and savoring good food. Above all, she treasured time spent with her family and loved ones.

A viewing and memorial service to honor and celebrate Missy's life will be held on Monday, February 16, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at P.L. Fry and Son Funeral Home, located at 290 N. Union Rd., Manteca, CA 95337.

Missy will be deeply missed and forever remembered for her loving heart, joyful spirit, and unwavering devotion to her family.
