Maria Diaz Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
With deep love and heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved Maria (Olivo) Diaz, who left this world peacefully on October 3, 2025, surrounded by her family. She was born on November 8, 1949, in Floydada, Texas, to Juan Olivo and Maria Veliz Olivo.
Maria was an extraordinary woman whose strength, kindness, and unwavering faith left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, and her love for her family was the heart of her life. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jesus Sifuentes Diaz, and her parents, whom she loved deeply.
Maria had a special connection to the land - it was her sanctuary. She loved working in her garden, tending to her plants, and nurturing every tree and flower with care. Whether it was planting roses, growing fruit trees, or simply walking through her yard, she found peace and joy in every leaf and blossom. Her hands were never idle - always caring for her home, cleaning, and creating a space filled with warmth and love.
Animals were drawn to her gentle spirit, and she loved caring for them just as she cared for everyone around her. But above all, her greatest joy came from her grandchildren. She loved praying with us, teaching us faith and gratitude, and spending time together during sleepovers at her home - a place that always felt safe, comforting, and full of love. Those moments with her are memories we will hold in our hearts forever.
She is survived by her children: Juanita Diaz, Steven Diaz, Isabel Diaz, Florita Diaz, and Anita Diaz; and by her grandchildren: Jasmine Diaz, Jessica Winger, Salvador Rodriguez, Carlita Diaz, Maria Diaz, Nancy Diaz, Barbie Diaz, Jessie Diaz, Christopher Simental, Cristina Simental, Maria De La Cruz, Elizabeth De La Cruz, Mireya De La Cruz, and Lillianna De La Cruz. She also leaves behind many loving family members and dear friends who will continue to honor her memory.
