Esther Vasquez, 82, of Fort Gratiot entered into eternal life on Tuesday, January 18, 2022.

She was born July 4, 1939 in Edinburg, Texas to the late Apolonio and Josefa Garcia. She married the love of her life, Anthony “Tony” Vasquez on October 8, 1960.

Esther was a retired caseworker from the Department of Human Services. She enjoyed volunteering, walking to raise money and meeting new people. She was a volunteer board member and president of Lake Huron Medical Center. She also volunteered for the Little Black Dress event, and the Back Packing for schools.
