Mary Theresa Estrada's Obituary
Born in San Diego in October of 1958 to Robert and Maria Estrada, Mary was one of 7 daughters. The middle child of the bunch, she was more often found alongside her dad with cars and motorcycles rather than inside sewing and cooking. She started working as a teen and worked as a state employee, specifically working for worker’s compensation. She always had a way with babies, she was there for more than 15 births among the babies born in the family. She loved to dance and sing even if she was the only one doing so. In 2008 she lost the ability to sing due to a stroke that affected her speech but her favorite jams still brought big smiles to her face. She is preceded in death by her parents Robert and Maria, and her sister Cecilia. She is survived by her sisters Martha, Gloria, Rebecca, Ana and Patty, children Roberto and Genevieve, and grandchildren Gabriella-Giselle, Oliver, Maverick and Ryder.
