Sister of Manuela Castillo and Natividad Fierro, aunt, cousin, and friend to many, came to the end of her life’s adventure on May 5, 2007. She will be remembered and missed by all those that knew and loved her.
A native of Brawley, California, Esperanza moved to Gilroy in the 1940’s and started a long career with the Gilroy Cannery. Always health conscious, her efforts to eat well and exercise allowed her to live the active and full life she enjoyed so much. She enjoyed travel and went on many awesome trips with her friends and family. Her ability to celebrate the milestones in other’s lives was legendary among family. She had a full social calendar and loved attending celebrations. Esperanza was active in her church and enjoyed making new friends who shared her faith. Every day was an adventure for Esperanza, whether it be a trip, walking to the home of a friend, or enjoying a birthday party. She lived her life to its fullest and the memories of how she lived her life will forever bring a smile to the face of everyone who knew her.
