Obituary for Maria Nora Amezquita
On Friday, April 28, 2017, Maria (Nora) Amezquita, age 86, gracefully entered into our Lord’s presence.
Nora was born to Patrocinia Gonzalez and Fidencio Morales in Sabinas Hidalgo, Mexico on June 17, 1930. As the only woman in her immediate family, she served from a young age, caring for her brothers and father. Nora married her husband, Benigno Amezquita from Zapata, Texas, in 1950, resulting in the greatest treasures of her life.
Nora passionately devoted her life to her children, grounding them with a deep love for life, family, and serving. Her love for Jesus will root her family for generations. Nora’s affection radiated from her, through her hugs, kisses, and constant “I love you too much.”
Nora is survived by her eight children; Sergio Amezquita (Modesto, CA), Janie Burleson (Oak Harbor, WA), Irene A Rivera (Oak Harbor, WA), Ben Amezquita (Coupeville, WA), Harvey Amezquita (Fresno, CA), Tony Amezquita (Oak Harbor, WA), Blanca Hanson (Oak Harbor, WA), and Fidencio Amezquita (Sanger, CA), and their spouses as well as 17 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
Nora’s passion for life and love lives on through the hearts of her family. A Celebration of her New Life will be held at Living Word Church, 490 NW Crosby Avenue, Oak Harbor, WA, Tuesday, May 2, 2017, at 4:00 PM. Private interment will take place at Sunnyside Cemetery. Family and friends are encouraged to share memories and condolences at www.whidbeymemorial.com.
