Esperanza Medina Mazutti

November 2, 1927 – June 28, 2021

It is always difficult to say goodbye to someone we love and cherish.  Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Esperanza Medina Mazutti (Dallas, TX), who passed away on June 28, 2021 at her home in Plano, Texas, surrounded by her family.  Esperanza was born in Zumpango, Estado de Mexico and began her adventure of seeing the world as the wife of Fernando Medina, Staff Sergeant in the US Army.  Her journey took her to Chinon, France, Tacoma, Washington, Manheim, Germany, San Antonio, Texas, San Clemente, California and finally Plano, Texas.   
 
Esperanza had many terms of endearment including Tia Ancho to her enormous Mazutti family in Mexico and Nona to her grandchildren and family in the United States.  She enjoyed spending time with her loved ones and dedicated much of golden years to travel.  She was an exceptional force in the kitchen and held family recipes extremely close to the chest.  Her most cherished accomplishments were her four children, all who were incredibly involved in her day to day life.  Her greatest joy were her grandchildren.  She was extremely proud of their accomplishments and activities and would often be found in the stands or the audience of their latest performance.  Esperanza was known for her kind heart, generosity, hugs, and her champion of all people.  In her 93 years of life she witnessed many life events and used her time and experience to encourage other to live their best lives.   She was a faithful soul who made pilgrimages to her patron saint Our Lady of Guadalupe at the Basilica in Mexico City. 
 
Esperanza is survived by her children Victor Medina (Susan Medina), Catharine Medina, Angela Medina Discher (Bill Discher), grandchildren, Jordana and Bianca Discher, Arman and Breno Medina, and Siena Medina, and many beloved family and friends around the world.  Esperanza is preceded in death by her son Fred Anthony Medina and husband Fernando Medina.
 
The family of Esperanza Medina Mazutti wish to thank the many friends who have provided comfort as they mourn the loss of this extraordinary woman.
