Until her last breath, Melissa’s life was devoted to her children Marissa, Makyla, Jeffrey and Jayden and to her fiancé Jeffrey Maldonado. Always a “people person,” Melissa was dedicated to her family and friends.

    Surviving in addition to her children and fiancé are her mother and stepfather, Myra and Darrell Busscher of Battle Creek; her father, Michael Milas of Chicago; her sister, Michelle Lynn Colwell and her children Robert, Jacob, and Jestin of Battle Creek; her maternal grandmother, Kate Milas of Chicago; and her stepgrandmother, Mary Lou Busscher of Battle Creek.

    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Jeanette Espitia, born on April 4, 1991, in San Antonio, Texas, passed away on August 21, 2025, in her hometown of San Antonio. She was 34 years old.

    Jeanette’s life was deeply rooted in the city where she was born and raised. Her devotion to her family remained a constant throughout her journey. A hardworking and dedicated individual, she gave her all to provide for her loved ones and cherished every moment spent with her children.

    She is lovingly remembered by her children: Jakob Espitia, Fabiana Espitia, and Jenna Espitia Ramirez. Jeanette also leaves behind several nieces and nephews, who will forever hold dear the memories they shared with her.

    She was preceded in death by her parents, Leonardo and Vivian Espitia; her unborn son, JaiJai Espitia Ramirez; her brothers Jason Espitia and Jr. Espitia; and her nephew Ricardo Espitia.

    Though they no longer with us in body, Baby JaiJai and Jeanette’s spirit endures through the lives they touched. May they rest in eternal peace, reunited with those who went before them. May the Lord welcome them into His arms and bring comfort to those who mourn their passing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
