Esme Patricia Brumell

Esme moved to the US with her two sons in August 1989 settling in El Monte, CA, joining family who had previously immigrated. The family would later move to Pomona, CA where she resided for 22 years.

She earned her nursing assistant certification and would go on to work 28 years as a CNA before retiring in 2017. After retiring Esme enjoyed cooking (she was well known for her black cake, salara, pine tart, roti, dahl pori, and patty), cleaning, gardening, going to the casino, spending time with family, and watching soap operas (Young and the Restless, General Hospital, All My Children, Bold and the Beautiful, you name it she watched it).

Esme Patricia Brumell went home to be with the Lord on February 18, 2026 at 10:59 am. She fought until the very end. She was preceded in death by her parents and older sister Evlyn Brumell.

Esme leaves in loving memory, her sons, daughter-in-law, brothers, sister, brother-in-law, granddaughters, great grandson, nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
