Francesca Pedroza Meza received her wings on May 15, 2021. Francesca was born on June 4, 1935 in Chihuahua, Mexico and raised her children in California. One of many accomplishments in Francesca’s lifetime was when she became a Naturalized United States Citizen in 1983. She was so proud of how far she had come and wanted a better life for herself and her children. Francesca had her own unique way of showing tough love. She loved hard and wanted the best for her family. Francesca was very honest and would tell her family like it was. She will be remembered for her contagious laugh, beautiful smile, and feistiness. She also will be remembered for her delicious oranges.
Francesca joined heaven with loved ones; her mother (Bernadina Moreno Mesa), siblings, (Sara, Jovita, Gilbert, and Jesse), children, (Josephina Meza Sifuentes, Irma Meza and Saul Meza).
Francesca is survived by her siblings, Mary Yniguez, Terry Mesa, Eva Mesa Bazaldua; her two daughters, Rosie Meza and Elizabeth Martinez; and three sons, Vincent Meza, Adam Meza and Ray Meza. Francesca also leaves behind seventeen grandchildren and thirty-two great grandchildren.
The family would also like to thank all of her caregivers from the past including many that cared for her for many years; for their dedicated care and compassion. Also, a special thanks to the In Home Supportive Services staff for always being there to assist with her needs.
A graveside service will be held for Francesca on Thursday, June 3, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. at Merced District Cemetery in Merced, California
