Consuelo Estrella Pizarro, age 89, of Chula Vista, California passed peacefully on Wednesday, July 11, 2018 surrounded by loved ones. Consuelo was born December 28, 1928 in Orion, Bataan, Philippines. She was the third child born to Amado Estrella and Andreca Reyes.
She married Dionisio De Leon Pizarro on October 28, 1953. Their marriage was blessed for 48 years and nine children. Consuelo's priority was to always put the care of her family first. She truly enjoyed taking good care of her large family and cooking their favorite dishes. When the grandchildren started to arrive she made sure that she was a primary care giver for them as well, enjoying her time with all 25 of them. A special memory they all cherish is Christmas time, Consuelo's favorite holiday. She would line up all the grandchildren, from youngest to oldest, and present each one of them with a monetary gift. Her special love and kindness will always live on in their hearts, never to be forgotten.
Consuelo is survived by her nine children; Efren Pizarro (Chona), Emiliano Pizarro (Marie), Honesto Pizarro (Thelma), Rustico Pizarro (Regina), Loida Pizarro Brown (James), Rosalia Tabuena (Cedric), Regina Vicente (Roy), Gerty Pizarro and Bernardo Pizarro II (Dorothy).
