MARIA IDALIA ESPINOZA

Born February 28, 1927 ~ Passed March 12, 2025

This is in loving memory of MARIA IDALIA ESPINOZA.

Raised in the rural community of Nambe New Mexico where life was hard work and simple living. Moving to California with her young family, her husband Benjamin and her daughter Isabell, she went to work at Hughs Aircraft for 22 years. While her husband BEN worked as a machinist at McDonald Douglas. Balancing work and family was something she was well suited to from her rural up bringing of hard work.

Along with Isabell she brought two more children into this world, Grace and Robert and with Her husband Ben honored the family model so prized in the United States. Love God, love family, work hard, be responsible, she did.

She was survived by her sister Victalia Baker;

Daughter Isabell & son in law Gary Barron, their children Christina Nelson and her husband Mark and their daughter Aubrey;

Grandson Daniel Barron and his wife Morgan and their son Asher;

Daughter Grace Petty and her husband Gary;

And their sons Nathan Petty and his wife Tanya;

Douglas Petty and and his wife Jessica;

And her son Robert's son Douglas Flanders and his wife Polly.

A long time believer, yet watching her grow closer to our LORD was such a joyful thing to see in her latter days. Seeing her raise her hands in praise during worship was priceless!

Now she raises them up before the throne of GOD in person, where she awaits our arrival there.

We so miss her and Hopefully will soon see her.

PRAISE THE LORD!
