Maria Estella Soto was born on November 20th, 1947 to Bruno and Maria Del Refugio Flores in Sombrerete, Zacatecas, Mexico. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and woman of deep Catholic faith. She peacefully entered into eternal rest on Sunday, September 20th, surrounded by the love and prayers of her family and close friends. Now in heaven she is reunited with her parents and her siblings, Petra, Rafael, Jesus, Vicente and Lucilla.
Her love for God and her devotion to the Blessed Mother and most recently, Saint Carlos Acutis, were reflected in the way she lived, prayed and cared for those around her. She was a talented seamstress and she was able to share her creations with many people. Her greatest joys in life were her grandchildren, Daniel & Elizabeth.
Although we mourn her earthly passing, our family finds comfort in the profound Catholic faith that carried her throughout her life. May her memory be a blessing to those that survive her; her husband of 50 years, Hector Vicente Soto, Sr., daughters, Veronica Maria Perez (her husband Elias), Claudia Estela Villarreal (her husband Gilbert), and her son, Hector Jr. (his wife Jessica, and her sons Wessley & Hunter) and step-daughter, Sandra Soto. Estella is also survived by her three sisters, Maria Belem Morales, Marta Reyes and Socorro Flores.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Erica & Florinda with Altus Hospice and Diana Medina for the professional and gentle care they provided to our wife, mother & sister.
May her soul, and the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in eternal peace.
