Our deepest condolences to Mari-Luci's family. She was a trailblazer and a leader with kindness and humanity at her core.
I feel so fortunate that our paths crossed over many decades centered around education. We both spent time at UNM and New Mexico Highlands, but the greatest honor was to be with Mari-Luci when she was presented with the Anne Roe Award at the Harvard Graduate School of Education where I was completing my doctoral degree. No matter how many awards or senior leadership...

Beautiful and talented lady, her services to our country were impeccable, and a legacy for all of us LATINOS to follow.

Condolences to Mari-Luci's bereaved family. May God bless you in this time of sorrow.
My tears are flowing for a very dear friend, daughter, and mother. She was a great woman, and I will never forget her kindness. God rest her soul in peace!

Dear Profesora Jaramillo, Mil gracias por toda la ayuda en la batalla de la buena educacion, y de derechos civiles para todos aqui y en dondequiera. Con Profesora Gonzales tengan una buena fiesta bilingue celestial. Con Amor, Luisa Duran y David Bachelor, ❤

Mari-Luci was a wonderful person, professional also but most of all a delight to work for. As a female ambassador in a male dominated society, the Hondurans all thought her staff reallyran the Embassy, but she was really in charge completely and she did a great job.

As noted, one of our major goals was to help restore democracy there. Once, when the then-military government started complaining that I was too close to the civilian politicians and threatened to kick me out, she told me...

Mari-Luci,
Rest in peace. You will forever be in our hearts.

Mari-Luci was a friend of nearly 50 years [we met in Washington, D.C.] advocating for Mexican Americans to have a better education, civil rights and respect. We continued our friendship via email until the very end. I was honored to call her my friend who I will sorely miss. Como siempre, gil

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I just had the honor of meeting this accomplished lady. I bought her.book and she signed it for me. I can't believe she left us. She will always give courage and hope to the Hispanic population. Aurora Kim Delgado
