Maria Estela Ruiz Perez Obituary (1956 - 2025)

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Maria Estela Ruiz Perez on April 18, 2025. Born on June 2, 1956, in Valparaíso, Zacatecas, Mexico, Maria Estela was a vibrant soul whose radiance touched the lives of all who knew her. As the famous Mexican proverb goes, "El que vive en el corazón de los otros, nunca muere." Those who live in the hearts of others never die, and Maria Estela undoubtedly lives on in the hearts of her loved ones. Maria Estela was a source of strength, love, and resilience for her family. She was a devoted wife to Juan Mojica, a loving mother to Alejandra Perez, and a cherished daughter to Sara Gutierrez. Her father, Jose Ortega, preceded her in death. Maria Estela's legacy is not only in the family she leaves behind but also in the life she lived. She was a woman of unique courage and kindness, always ready to lend a hand, share words of wisdom, or bring a smile to someone's face. She made Eagle Pass, Texas, her home, and her presence was a beacon of warmth in the community. Maria Estela's life was a testament to the power of love and the strength of the human spirit. She faced every challenge with grace and determination. Her life was a tapestry of beautiful moments and cherished memories, woven together with threads of love, courage, and resilience. As Gabriel Garcia Marquez once wrote, "No matter what, nobody can take away the dances you've already had." And Maria Estela’s dance was one of beauty, passion, and love.
