Esther Lara Gomez was born on March 2, 1941 in Fulshear, TX. Life for this simple, country girl had many hardships, but was also filled with a joy for life. She was particularly close to her 5 siblings, who have all preceded her in death.
Esther was a loving wife of 52 years, to Selestino Gomez Sr., a dedicated mother to her children Jovita Escobedo (Gomez) and Selestino (Tino) Gomez II, her son, who also precedes her in death.
She was very active in her church, with a specialty for leading the praise and worship with her beautiful singing voice. And very committed to her Children's Church Ministry. Her life was abundantly blessed with the children she also cared for as a nanny for more than a decade. And she loved them as her own. Loyal and trustworthy to all who knew her, she was always ready to give her time, advice and encouragement to a friend in need. She will always be remembered as a beloved grandmother to Kai and Ethan Escobedo.
We honor her and the memories and life lessons she has left us.
