Monica Hoisington (née Gallardo), born on June 28, 1963, in San Jose, California, passed away on August 5, 2025, in Bakersfield, California. Her passing marks the loss of a beloved wife, mother, daughter, and friend whose presence was a source of strength and comfort to those around her.

Monica was the cherished daughter of Magdalena Gallardo. She shared nearly 43 years of marriage with her devoted husband, Todd Hoisington Sr., building a life rooted in love and unwavering commitment. Together they raised four children: Todd Hoisington Jr., Chris Hoisington, Elizabeth Hoisington, and Dina Hallmark. Monica’s role as a mother was central to her life—she was the heart of her family and the glue that held them together.

Her legacy is one of compassion, resilience, and generosity. Monica was known for her helpful nature and forgiving spirit. She approached life with understanding and kindness that touched everyone she encountered. Whether as a sister, aunt, grandmother, or neighbor, she extended warmth and care to all who knew her.

In keeping with her lifelong dedication to helping others, Monica made the selfless decision to become an organ donor. Through this final act of generosity, she gave the gift of life to multiple individuals in need—a testament to her enduring spirit of compassion.

A Celebration of Life honoring Monica’s life will be held in Bakersfield on September 20, 2025. Her family finds comfort in knowing that while she may no longer be physically present, her love continues to surround them—and parts of her live on through those she helped.

May Monica’s memory bring peace to those who mourn her and inspiration to all who hear her story.
