Maria passed peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family, and joined our Lord on Tuesday, December 31, 2024.

She is also survived by 10 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild, and many nieces and nephews. She was a wonderful, loving human being and will be greatly missed by her family and many dear friends.

Maria was a wonderful sister-in-law. She was an expert gardener, and her gardens had such a variety of flowers which she was always willing to share. Our family will miss her.
