Lillian S. Esquivel, 73, entered eternal life surrounded by prayer, friends and family on May 31st, 2025.
Lillian was born to Manuel Ramirez Sr. and Genevieve Ramirez on October 1st, 1951, in Ray, AZ. Lillian is survived by her husband Juan Esquivel (43 years married), loving sister Lucille Leyba, and youngest rascal brother Manuel Ramirez. Lillian is preceded in death by her parents, Manuel and Genevieve Ramirez, youngest sister Josanne Ramirez and eldest brother Manuel Ramirez Jr. Lillian was known and adored as "Auntie Lil" by several dozens of nieces and nephews. Her friends loved her as "Lilly". She loved meeting with her friends for their monthly luncheons.
Lillian was a proud Superior Panther, class of 1969! After high school Lillian attended Central Arizona College and was in the inaugural graduating class of Nursing at Central Arizona College in 1971. For 40 years Lillian served patients young and old. Lillian's greatest pride as a hospital nurse was serving as a Labor and Delivery Nurse. She loved helping family's welcome life into this world.
On behalf of Lillian's family, we thank you deeply for praying for our beloved Lillian's spirit and your endless condolences at this time.

I am so sorry to hear about Lil. My family lived across the street from
her house in the early days. Hers was such a wonderful family.
