Bertha Julia Esquibel, 69, went home to be with our Lord on August 14, 2020 after a brief battle with cancer.  Bertha is survived by her daughter, Melissa Ortiz, grandsons Cody, Tyler and Preston McCabe.  She is also survived by her siblings; Al (Therese) Esquibel, Vickie Esquibel, Evelyn (Ray) Tapia, Juanita (Fred) Velasco an d Lorraine (Cruz) Trillo and many nieces, nephew and extended family.

Bertha was preceded in death by:  her son Christopher Esquibel;  Parents Delia and Adelido Esquibel; Sister Jean Garcia and her beloved grandchildren Bryant and Breanna McCabe.

She was a dedicated food service worker at Sedexo at N.A.U.  Bertha was a devout Catholic and most enjoyed spending time with her daughter and grandchildren.

She loved her New Mexico music, reading, going out to eat and shopping.  She didn't believe  in good-byes, so she always said "later" to her loved ones.

Rest in Peace Mom, until we meet again. Later.
