Jean Mary Esqueda, beloved wife, mother, and cherished friend, passed away on May 14, 2025, in her hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was born on July 20, 1961, in Milwaukee and dedicated her life to her family as a devoted homemaker.

Further survived by family and friends.

Jean was a radiant presence in the lives of those who knew her. She had a passion for the holidays, especially Christmas, often bringing family together for celebrations that were filled with love, laughter, and her delightful cooking. The spirit of the season lived in her heart as she decorated her home with joy, putting up her Christmas tree in November and keeping it adorned until January.

As an army wife and later a police officer's wife, Jean embraced the adventures that life had to offer. She traveled the world alongside her husband, William Esqueda Sr., and created countless memories that she passed down to her beloved sons, William Esqueda Jr. and Joseph Esqueda. She cherished her time spent with her grandchildren, filling their lives with warmth and love. Jean also had a green thumb; she loved gardening and found joy in nurturing her beloved dogs, Luna and Bella.

Jean will be deeply missed by her husband, William Esqueda Sr., her sons, William and Joseph, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her zest for life, love for family, and generous spirit will forever be remembered.
