Silvia Renteria Esquivel

Silvia was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend whose love, strength, and compassion touched the lives of many. A proud graduate of Lanier High School, her education starts at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota and finished her career at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio with a Bachelor's in Arts in May 5, 1979.

Silvia went on to dedicate herself to a meaningful career with the San Antonio Police Department's Family Violence Response Team. She took great pride in her work, helping individuals and families during some of their most difficult moments. Her dedication to serving others reflected her caring heart and desire to make a difference in her community.

A devoted Pentecostal, Silvia held her faith close to her heart and found strength and guidance in her relationship with the Lord. Above all, she cherished her family, who remained her greatest joy and blessing. Her love for those closest to her was unwavering, and she leaves behind a legacy of faith, kindness, and devotion.

Silvia is reunited in Heaven with her beloved parents, Luis Renteria and Catalina Martinez, and her siblings who preceded her in death.

She will forever be remembered and deeply missed by her loving husband of 51 years, Antonio Esquivel; her sons, Antonio R. Esquivel III and Gabriel L. Esquivel; her siblings, Stella and Ricardo; along with numerous extended family members and dear friends.

Silvia's life was a beautiful testament to faith, love, and service. Though her earthly journey has come to an end, the countless memories she created and the love she shared will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew her. Her legacy will continue through the family she treasured and the many lives she touched throughout her lifetime.

May Silvia rest in eternal peace, embraced by the loving arms of the Lord, until the day her family is reunited with her once again.
