Esther Ruiz Hernandez

It is with deep sorrow and love that we announce the passing of our beloved sister, wife, mother, and grandmother, Esther Ruiz Hernandez, who departed this life on Monday, June 23, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on August 2nd in Irvine, Orange County, California, Esther was a true Californian at heart—warm, vibrant, and full of life. She dedicated her life to her family, raising generations with strength, grace, and an abundance of love. Her home was always a welcoming place where meals were shared, stories were told, and laughter echoed in every room.

She taught us how to love unconditionally, how to persevere, and how to find joy even in the simplest of things. Her wisdom, her hugs, and her unforgettable cooking will be deeply missed.

Esther is survived by her five children (and preceded in death by two), twelve grandchildren, twenty-five great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur. Despite life’s challenges, she remained a pillar of strength and grace, always putting her family first.

Her legacy of love, resilience, and devotion to family will live on in our hearts forever.
