| The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Thursday, February 15, 2018, page 6a Eliza Lucero Esquerra passed away on Feb. 9, 2018, her children at her side. Born in Los Angeles, California, to Lasaro and Castuly Leivas, Eliza spent her childhood years living with her parents and traveling from Boriana Mine to Kingman, Arizona. Later she settled in Parker, Arizona. With little education -- no fault of hers -- she was able, nonetheless, to learn to write and read from her children, which made her very proud. She raised 16 children, giving birth to 11 of them. She took great pride in her children and was able to bring them up with respect, love and many skills to use in today’s world. In addition to raising children, she had great cooking skills. She could take any meal and turn it into a mouth-watering feast. Eliza leaves behind 11 children, Carlos, Bob, Art Lucero, Ralph, Richard, Tudy, Eddy, Tommy, Lisa Esquerra, Lupe Peterson and Connie Johnson; 43 grandchildren; 27 great-grandchildren and two great- great-grandchildren. She loved every one of them. And everyone that knew her loved her also. She will be missed but forever in our heart. Memorial services will be held at 10 a.m., on Friday, Feb. 16, 2018, at Parker Funeral Home. Information provided by survivors. |
