Frances Therese Esnault

Frances Therese Esnault was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico on October 3, 1949 to parents Johnny and Effie Smith. Her family moved to Los Angeles, California when she was about 4 years old. She was raised with her two brothers George and Ronnie, and her sister Sherry. She married her sweetheart Anthony Esnault in 1965. They lived in Los Angeles until they moved to Orange County in the late 1960's and lived for many years in Westminster, where they raised their children, son Kevin born in 1969 and daughter Tiana born in 1975. Frances worked for Knight Equipment, Inc. as a Director of Customer Service for 25 years, retiring in 1999. Tragically, her son Kevin died in 1997. A few years later, her grandchildren entered and enriched her life significantly. She spent the years thereafter enjoying quality time with her daughter and grandchildren. Frances and Anthony eventually left Orange County, moved to Riverside County and resided in Corona near their daughter and grandchildren at the time of her death. Frances spent her life taking care of everyone. She was kind, giving, loving, compassionate, and generous. She loved with her whole heart and was dearly and deeply loved in return. She loved to cook, spend the holidays with her family, and have a good conversation on the phone. She opened up her house and heart to new and old friends alike, and gave the very best hugs! She is survived by her husband Anthony, daughter Tiana, son-in-law Jose, grandchildren Kevin, Colin, Brooklyn, Bree, brother George, sister Sherry, brother-in-law Jerry, nieces Nikki, Andi, Yasi, Sholay….and her dog Chulo. She will be missed beyond measure and loved beyond time. We love you forever and ever and ever "Frances/Mom/Grammie/Sister/Auntie" !
