Francisca Espinoza Ruiz, daughter of Apolinar Espinoza and Refugio Melgoza
She is survived by her husband, Ramon Ruiz; as well as her 2 younger sisters, Virginia Aguilar Espinosa and Teresa Espinosa Ortega. Although she never had children herself, she leaves behind 15 nieces and nephews. To most of her nieces and nephews, she was known to them as their Godmother or Nina. Although Francisca was born in Oceanside, she was raised in Purepero Michoacan Mexico for most of her life. She was one of 11 brothers and sisters. Her last known wish was to be returned back to Purepero to be with her parents and younger brother who she helped raise.
Francisca had some special miracle moments which included being struck by
lightning when she was child. She had numerous strokes and still kept strong.
Francisca will never be forgotten as she was a strong woman who helped anyone
she could. She will be missed by all her family and friends. May she rest in
peace.
