Esther Faye Valdez, beloved wife and mother is now resting in peace. She departed on July 6, 2023 at 11:54PM.

She was born in Dayton Kentucky, and cherished by her mother, Lena Bishop, who is no longer with us.

She is survived by her husband, Frank Valdez; her daughter, Julie Conant; two beautiful grandkids, Evan, Matty; her step children, Christal (Pedro), Frank Jr. (Darcie), Olivia (Ben), Matthew (Victoria) Valdez, Nathan, and their grandchildren, Moriah, Elena, Gianna, Luca; her sister, Linda Ahring; and her daughters, Laurie Mackaulley (Terry), Courtney, Whitney, and Mandey.

Esther spent most of her time in O’Fallon and New Baden, Illinois, and made many wonderful friendships throughout her life. Esther was known as being a kind hearted, generous, and caring person. Selflessly giving to friends and family, she always made room in her heart and home for others. Esther will be forever missed.

You were the best friend, wife, and mother we could hope for. We love you so much.
Forever yours,
your loving family.

There will be a celebration of life at Christian Life Center in Berwyn, Illinois on 19 August 2023.
