Heidi Judith
Estrada
Jul 25, 1980 — Jul 4, 2025
Kansas City
Heidi Judith Estrada was born on July 25, 1980, in Camargo, Chihuahua, Mexico, to her beloved mother, Margarita Holguin. With a warm heart, vibrant personality, and generous spirit, Heidi brought joy to all who knew her. A true social butterfly, she made her journey to the United States in 1995, settling in the Westside neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri.
Heidi attended Westport High School in Kansas City, Missouri, and later earned her diploma from Reach 500 in Kansas City, Kansas. Throughout her life, she worked diligently in a variety of roles, including positions at Arthur Bryant's BBQ, cleaning apartments, and was last employed at Max's Burgers.
As the eldest of five daughters, Heidi played a vital role in helping her mother raise her younger sisters. She later became a devoted wife and mother, welcoming her first child, Evelyn, in 2003. Her second daughter, Ruth, was born in 2004, followed by her son, Vincent, in 2010. Heidi was fiercely dedicated to her children and treasured her role as a homemaker, pouring her heart and soul into raising her family.
Heidi had a deep love for travel and took great joy in planning family trips, especially summer camping adventures. A creative soul, she enjoyed making jewelry, crocheting, sewing, babysitting, and painting. Always working on a new project, she expressed herself through her art and took pride in her handmade creations.
Family was the cornerstone of Heidi's life. She loved spending time with her relatives and friends. She was always ready to laugh, dance, and share her famous tamales. A passionate Kansas City Chiefs fan, she never missed a game and cheered on her team with pride.
Heidi entered eternal rest on July 4, 2025. She is survived by her cherished children, Evelyn Estrada, Ruth Estrada, and Vincent Estrada; her loving mother, Margarita Holguin; and her four sisters, Ivy Vaquera, Miriam Holguin, Mirka Martinez, and Abril Wilson; she also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends who will carry her memory in their hearts.
She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Felicitas Ibarra; her uncles, Jorge Holguin, Pedro Ibarra, and Adrian Ibarra; her aunts, Elvira Ibarra, Silvia Gutierrez, and Joueanne Ibarra; and her cousins, Maria Guzman and Pedro Guzman.
Heidi's radiant spirit, enduring love, and creative soul will forever be remembered by all who were blessed to know her.
