She is preceded in death by her parents, Roy Velasquez, Sr. and Elisa Ortegon Velasquez; her beloved husband, Raymond S. Torres; sisters, Clara Castillo and Mary Estrada.
Esther is survived by her stepchildren, Raymond Torres, Jr., Robert R. Torres, Rose Ann R. Torres and Margo C. Torres – Guerrero; 9 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
Esther was a devoted wife and loved traveling with family, spending time with her sisters, and attending family celebrations. She will be greatly missed by her siblings, stepchildren, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Her husband Raymond was her source of laughter and the love of her life and we all have peace knowing they are together once again. Together, they created a loving household that was always open to any family or friend in need. Esther continued that tradition long after her husband Raymond died and she was often referred to as “Mom” by many relatives and family friends.
