In Loving Memory Elizabeth C. Vasquez   It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Elizabeth Vasquez, who departed this world on Saturday, July 12th, 2025,at the age of 83. She was surrounded by loved ones. Elizabeth’s journey through life was marked by unwavering dedication to family, friends, and community. Her memory will forever be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her as she leaves a legacy of kindness, wisdom, and inspiration.   Elizabeth (Liz, Chavela) was born on May 23rd, 1942, in Tulare, CA to Vicente and Cipriana Vasquez. From an early age she displayed an inquisitive mind and a compassionate spirit that would come to define her as a person.   After graduating Tulare Union High School, Liz began working at Lagomarsino Farming. She quickly established a reputation for diligence, determination, and integrity. Her career flourished as she worked her way up to a supervisory position where she earned the respect of all those whom she worked with. Colleagues remember Liz as a dedicated leader and a generous mentor, always willing to lend an ear or offer guidance to those in need.   The most important thing in Liz’s life was an everlasting love for family. Although never having children of her own, she took on the role as a second mom and became a “Godmother” to every single one of her nieces and nephews. She was a source of unwavering support, safety, and guidance, nurturing her nieces and nephews with wisdom, patience, and boundless affection. She loved all of them as if they were her own.   Elizabeth C. Vasquez is survived by her sisters Margret Casares, Lucy Zodrow (Ray), Gloria Davis (Steven), and Sandra Kral, who will always remember Liz’s warm hugs, sage advice, and infectious laughter. Liz also leaves behind a wide circle of extended family members and friends who treasured her dearly. Liz has reunited with her parents Vicente and Cipriana Vasquez, sister Roberta Jiminez, and brothers Peter Vasquez and Carlos Vasquez.
