Esperanza Isabella Sanchez

Esperanza Isabella Sanchez, age 18, beloved daughter, big sister, granddaughter, niece, and friend was called to her eternal resting place on Saturday, May 2, 2020. She entered this world on May 18, 2001, in Albuquerque, NM. She is survived by her parents, Jade and Fernando Sánchez; little brother, Fernando; younger sister, Liliana; grandmother, Maria Rodriguez; aunts, Alexandria and Carolina; uncle, Edward; cousins, Diego, Charlene, Sebastian, and Lola; and aunts, Abigail Long, Nadine Roberson, Rachel Rogers. So many Sanchez-Morales aunts, uncles, and cousins in Chihuahua, Mexico, should be acknowledged as loving family, as well.

Esperanza attended Siembra Leadership High School and expected to graduate Spring 2021. She leaves behind many friends and loved ones from school and other places of healing and growth. She enjoyed social media, photos and filters, playing soccer, hanging out with her best friend Tracey, and traveling. She loved her home in Chihuahua, Mexico and was proud to live in both countries. Her favorite foods were quesadillas, chicken nuggets, hot Cheetos, and decaf Starbucks. She loved listening to One Direction and other pop music.

A “Zoom” Memorial Service will be held on her birthday, Monday, May 18, 2020. The invite will be sent to those who ask for it, and will be shared on various platforms.

“We would like to thank Samantha Mensay for her close involvement and care, UNMH Trauma Support team, Dr. Duxeberry, Dr. Miskimins, all the attending doctors and nurses in Trauma Surgical ICU, Nancy at FRENCH, and everyone else who has been with us on this journey. Thank you, Lacey, Marisol, and Michele.”
