Guadalupe "Lupita" Esquivel Ramos

Guadalupe "Lupita" Esquivel Ramos, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully the evening of September 6, 2024, in San Antonio, TX. Born on September 17, 1948, in Sebastian, TX, Lupita lived a life marked by selflessness, humor, and an abundance of love.

Lupita was preceded in death by her parents, Joaquina D. Esquivel and Manuel Esquivel; her husband, Reynaldo Ramos; her sisters, Aurora Perez, Ramona Moreno, and Delia Esquivel; and her brothers, Norberto D. Almaraz and Manuel Jr. Esquivel. She is survived by her brother, Abraham (Irma) Almaraz; her sisters, Lala (Joe) E. Liserio, Maria Borrego, Rosa (Santos) Rodriguez, and Jackie Flores; her children, Janie (Cary) Faulkner, Jesse Garcia, Richard Garcia, Louis Ramos, Raymond Ramos, Reynaldo M. Ramos, Raul Ramos, Lillian (Gideon) Stibor, and Saralena Ramos; along with her cherished grandchildren: Aaron, Kyle, Lance, Sawyer, Joel, Brian, Akeno, Purity, Diamond, Felicity, Seth, Lilly, David, Eveylynne, Corbin, Draven, Donavan, and Kara; and her 13 great-grandchildren.

Lupita briefly attended H.M. King High School in Kingsville, TX. Although she chose to leave school early to start her family, she never stopped learning and sharing her wisdom with those around her. Her work life was a reflection of her dedication to providing for her loved ones, as she spent many years as a homemaker before reentering the workforce. Lupita's employment included time at Furr's Cafeteria in Plainview, TX, and later as a housekeeper in Kingsville and Corpus Christi, TX, until her well-deserved retirement.

Known for her love of music and the joy she found in the company of her grandchildren, Lupita filled every room with laughter and warmth. She was the epitome of a loving mother and grandmother, always speaking the language of love through acts of service and thoughtful gifts. Her generosity knew no bounds, and she continually placed the needs of others before her own.

Those who knew Lupita will remember her for her selfless attitude, her infectious humor, and her boundless capacity for love. In the words of Mother Teresa, "Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love." Lupita embodied this sentiment, leaving behind a legacy of small acts done with great love that will continue to ripple through the lives of those she touched.

Lupita's life was a testament to the power of love and the strength of family bonds. Her memory will be cherished and celebrated by all who were fortunate enough to know her. As we bid farewell to this sweet woman, we take solace in the memories and the love she shared so freely. Guadalupe "Lupita" Esquivel Ramos may have left this world, but she will forever remain in the hearts of many.

Rest in peace, dear Lupita, until we meet again. Your love and laughter will echo through the generations, a beautiful symphony that will never fade.

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die” John 11:25:26
