Jessie Espinoza Salvador

Jessie Espinoza Salvador, 92, of Carpinteria, CA, left this world peacefully to join her Lord and Savior on August 20, 2021, at home with her children at her side. Jessie was born, the sixth of seven children to German Santiago Espinosa and Irinea Torres de Espinosa, in Colton, CA on December 11, 1928.

Jessie and her husband, Roman “Roy”, settled in Carpinteria in 1948 and raised their family. They were proud members of the American Legion and Filipino Community Club in Santa Barbara.  Jessie worked at the Carpinteria packing house and Santa Barbara restaurants before joining the staff at La Cumbre Golf and Country Club from 1962-2018. During these years she became known for her words to live by, “One day at a time…Just keep going…Don’t stop” and her homemade quesadillas for the club’s annual Cinco de Mayo event.

Jessie is survived by her children, Lino (Mary), Juan (Rosalie) and Pene (Steve); her grandchildren, Roman (Ailene), Nicolas (Victoria), Sharon (Alex), Owen (Kelly), Aaron (Lindsay) and great grandchildren, Stella, Santinolino, Sia, Milan, Gian, Ty, Austin, Bryce, Logan and Mirabel and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Roman, grandson Gabriel, parents, German and Irinea, and siblings, Sabino, Encornocion, Guadalupe, Carmen, Felipe and Ruth.
