In Loving Memory of Rachel Ann Esquivel-Rocha June 10, 1958 – October 22, 2025
It is with profound sorrow and unending love that we announce the passing of Rachel Ann Esquivel-Rocha of La Puente, California, who left this world surrounded by the love she so freely gave on October 22, 2025. Born in Chicago, Illinois, to Petronilo and Esther Esquivel, along with her two sisters, Tina and Debbie, and her baby brother, Petronilo Jr., Rachel carried the warmth of her family's devotion with her throughout her life.
For over 30 years, she dedicated her hard work and heart to Industrial Pipe and Steel, where her kindness and dependability touched everyone she worked with. Rachel's life was a living example of selflessness and devotion. She found her greatest joy in caring for her family-her beloved husband, William Rocha; her children, Michelle Rocha, Stefani Chapman, and Andrew Chapman; and her 39 cherished grandchildren. There was truly nothing she wouldn't do for the people she loved. Even in her hardest days, when her strength was tested, she still rose each morning to make sure her family was fed, her home was tended, and those around her were cared for.
Her heart was an open door. She cared for her ailing mother with grace and compassion until her final moments, embodying the same nurturing spirit that defined every chapter of her life. Rachel's presence will forever be felt in the gentle moments-such as the laughter around the dinner table, the smell of home-cooked meals, and the comfort of knowing someone always put you first.
She is survived by her devoted husband, William Rocha; her loving children, Michelle, Stefani, and Andrew; her stepchildren, Eddie Rocha, Mary Rocha, and William Rocha II; and her beautiful legacy of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, along with her loving nieces, nephews, and beloved friends who will carry her spirit forward.
Though she has left this earth, Rachel's love remains all around us-in every act of kindness, every burst of laughter, and every whisper of the wind.
"When you see a butterfly, think of her, for she is free, and her spirit dances among the flowers she once tended with love."
May her memory be a blessing and her love a light that guides us always.
