Macrina R. Esquivel

Macrina R. Esquivel, 84 of San Saba passed away on Sunday, February 14, 2021, surrounded by her loving family. Macrina was born on April 22, 1936, to Ernesto Sr. and Amelia Reyes of San Saba. Macrina married Lorenzo P. Esquivel on January 13, 1958, and they celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary this year. Macrina worked as a CNA for 10 years, and she also worked at the San Saba Cap Inc. for 11 years. She worked 15 years at the San Saba Pecan Shelter. She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church of San Saba.

Macrina enjoyed sewing quilts and making crafts for her family and for the people that needed something. She enjoyed cooking; she was best known for her tamales. During Thanksgiving and Christmas, she would make tamales for her family and for people in Brownwood and San Saba. She also cracked and peeled pecans on the holidays and sold them every year. She and dad were number one fans of the San Saba Armadillos football team, never missing a game. They also were number one fans of the San Saba lady Dillo’s basketball team and were there before the games started. Every spring, her and my dad got their garden ready, and my mom would go to the courthouse and set up her little stand with her fresh veggies and stayed till she sold out. My mom and dad enjoyed going to a lot of occasions; they loved to dance and visit with their friends.
