Anne Marie Esparza was born on May 7th,1975 in Norwalk, California. She is survived by her incredible husband, Kyle Jensen. Her 3 precious daughters, Charly, Kaylee, and Khloe. Her 2 strong son-in-laws, Christopher and Alec. Her 2 perfect grand babies, who were the light of her life, Corey and Ian. Her wonderful siblings, Margie, Victor, and Chuy. And of course, her loving parents, Magdalena and Jesus.

She was married to Kyle for 19 years, but together for 23. They built a wonderful life together for their girls and their grandkids. Going on annual trips, even when money was tight, they stopped at nothing to prioritize family, making memories, and seeing their kids smile. They were the best team ever because they balanced each other out. She helped him be calm and slow down, he helped her to be brave and honor herself. Even though she is no longer physically here, their love will last for eternity.

Together, they raised 3 daughters, each have grown to up to be talented, strong, and kind just like their mother. Anne Marie always put her children and grandchildren before herself. Even if she only had $5 left in her bank account she would use what she had to take care of them. She always made sure they were taken care of with all they could want and need. She was the person they could talk to about anything, morning or night. Her bond with each was unique and special, with individual memories, inside jokes, and things that they loved together.

She went back to school at 32 years old to become a Registered Nurse. She was a nurse for 15 years, where she worked in Trauma, Labor & Delivery, and as an OR Circulator. In this time she touched so many lives. It was her calling to be kind, just, and good, which is why she loved her profession so deeply and was proud of what she did.

As is clear, she left this earth far too soon at only 50 years old. However, she’s lived more life than most can in a hundred year life span. She made the most of every single day and encouraged everyone around her to do the same. Anne Marie is strong, smart, kind, thoughtful, witty, loving, wild, and the most beautiful woman to have ever walked this earth. If you knew her, you loved her. She will be missed more than words can ever express, but she loved and was loved, and in the end we are so grateful to have experienced someone as incredible as her. Our once in a lifetime person. We love you and will miss you every day for the rest of our lives.
