Esther was born October 13, 1923, in Los Angeles, at the age of 24, she 

married the love of her life, Lorenzo Lawrence Rodriguez. They had a big 

traditional catholic church wedding. She was a loving and devoted wife, 

mother, grandmother and great grandmother to her family. She was always there 

with a helping hand and continued to be a source of strength up until the very 

end. She was a great inspiration and teacher of life and laughter. Her sense 

of humor always put a smile on your face, no matter what the situation was. It 

is impossible to convey how much she will be missed.

worker.

David Rodriguez of Bakersfield and Diana and Robert Guyton of Arizona; 

thirteen grandchildren; four great grandchildren; sisters, Armida Vallejo, 

Molly Villegas and Jenny Castro all of Bakersfield and Isabelle Swartz of Los 

Angeles and special devoted friends, Vincent and Mary Marquez of Bakersfield.



Pallbearers will be Santos Meza, James Bowling, Robert Guyton, David 

Rodriguez, Frank Hopper, and Jason Rodriguez. Honorary pallbearers will be 

Adam Meza and Vincent Marquez.



We would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Tan Tran from Kaiser at

We will be forever bound by her love and strength to continue on.
