Mariaesther Yañez

Mariaesther Yañez, favorably and tenderly known as Miss Yañez to many, passed away surrounded by her loving family after a battle with complications from lupus.  Her contribution to the lives of her family, friends, co-workers and beloved students will never be forgotten and will forever be cherished. Miss Yañez has been a teacher at Sacred Heart Catholic School for 20 years.  Her faith and love towards her profession and her students along with her undoubted example of Catholic values has made her a role model for children and adults alike.  A primary role she had was to prepare students for Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.  The way that Miss Yañez communicated messages of God’s love to her students was inspiring.  She was truly blessed with the gift of teaching.
