In lieu of flowers, please make donations to St. Ann’s Catholic Church, Ridgecrest.

I believe that whoever wrote the above obituary was incorrect about Raul and Manuel proceeding their sister in death. I’m pretty sure they are still alive.

Be sure to read the second obituary from the Ridgecrest Independant. The story of how Estela ended up in Trona is very interesting.
