With heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of San Juanita Altamirano, a beloved mother, daughter, and sister.

San Juanita passed away on July 11th, 2024, at her home in Moses Lake, Washington.

San Juanita was born on November 12th, 1952 in Eagle Pass, Texas to the late Esperanza Hernandez and Evaristo Altamirano. She is survived by her six children Ezekiel, Jorge, Humberto, Cecilia, Tony, and Jaqueline. She is also survived by her two sisters, numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

While in Texas, San Juanita was only able to attend school to grade eight but would later earn her high school diploma in 2015 which she was very proud of.

San Juanita was hard working, loving, and a caring woman who always wanted to give and share her time with others especially her family. She enjoyed going to church, music, dancing, movies, puzzles, bingo halls, casinos, and family get togethers. She enjoyed life through simple pleasures and had a heart bigger than the room that she stood in. And for many, left a piece of that heart with them. Her absence will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

"The greatest gift in love is love."
