Jessie Vasquez, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and sister, passed away peacefully on Monday afternoon. Born in Victorville, CA. She was a lifetime resident of Hollister, CA.
A devout Catholic, she truly loved and was very devoted to her family. Mom loved to cook and was always trying out the latest trend in cooking. She was a terrific baker and her salsa recipe should be patented! There was always room at her table.
She was quite a pistol and tempered with her sharp and feisty wit, she was a kind, compassionate and generous person with a big heart.
She is survived by her beloved husband Ray Vasquez and their ten children, Mary (Rick) Edge, David (Barbara) Vasquez, Anita (Jerry) Magorian, Tina (Ed) Spilo, Terri (Buzz) Picha, Raul (Marla) Vasquez, Mona Vasquez, Bob Vasquez, Neva Vasquez, Julie (Bret) Borges.
