For over 45 years, Ernestine worked as a nurse and office manager for Dr. Joseph Zavaleta and Dr. Rodolfo Walss.  Rochita, as she was warmly called by her patients, loved, and cared for them throughout the years.  In return, she had the pleasure and immense pride of seeing countless babies being delivered and then years later, those babies would return to the office to have their babies.  Her clients trusted and loved her and even ask for her by name.  Ernestine loved interacting with her patients and truly loved the families.  She assisted and inspired her own family through life’s difficult times.  Ernestine’s energy and enthusiasm was how she lived her life every day.
Happy Birthday Mom, Ernestine and Rochita.
