Born on June 19,1940 in Orange Grove, Texas to Juan and Anselma Ochoa. Esperanza was one of twelve children in a home filled with love, noise, hard work and lots of life!

She was witty, intelligent, hardworking, and always determined in spirit, loving at heart and always giving of herself endlessly to the people she loved the most.
