Esther Cantu still remembers Christmastime in her early teens when she used to help her mother, Josephine Perez, organize all her Avon orders.It all started in 1955, when Perez was a licensed vocational nurse at Santa Rosa Hospital and her patients were some of her first customers. Perez sold lipsticks, lotions and other products from the famous beauty line for 60 years. She was still writing out orders — she never owned a computer — not long before her death in 2015 at age 98. At first selling Avon was just to bring in more income to raise Cantu and her three siblings.
