Obituaries

“Aggie” was born on leap year in 1936 in Wyoming to her parents Carlos and Lilliane Espinoza. She was raised in Denver, Colorado with 13 brothers and sisters. Denver is also where she met her husband, Leroy Madrid. They spent 55 loving years together before his passing in 2007. They were longtime residents of the Bay Area and raised 3 beautiful daughters in San Francisco until finally settling into Fremont until retirement.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband Leroy and two daughters, Lorraine and Shirley. She is survived by her daughter Anita.

Leroy and Aggie spent retirement years in Modesto where they would enjoy walks around the neighborhood together. Aggie had many hobbies over the years and excelled in all she tried. Some of her hobbies included crocheting, crafting with flowers and gardening. She enjoyed shopping, watching TV crime shows and was considered by many to be the keeper of our family history with many, many photo albums. She enjoyed gambling trips to Reno and candy for her sweet tooth. But most of all she enjoyed her growing family which included 11 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren with more on the way. She was also very thankful for her numerous nieces, nephews and God-children. She loved to share stories of the past and she will be deeply missed.

Visitation will be held on Friday, March 24, 10am with a Chapel Service starting at 11:30am at Fremont Memorial Chapel, 3723 Peralta Blvd., Fremont, CA.
