I met Maria when she was dating Ed. Over the years I´ve lost touch- but Maria has always been on my mind and in my heart. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She worked so hard and took such good care of everything. I will miss her dearly. Feel free to reach out if you ever want to share stories, I´d love to talk about her. Sending some much love and light.

In the past 30 years, my dear friend Maria held the energy of grandmother, mother, sister, and daughter for me, and I am honored to have been in her inner circle. I had the pleasure of serving at her side for many years on the board of directors of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin where she served as executive director for 24 years. I enjoyed my first encounter with Maria Sixty years ago, at Monreal’s on 6th street, the family tavern and restaurant. She did not know me at the time, but I observed her and some of her siblings helping at the restaurant. Maria was a fierce crusader of equity and opportunity for all people in the community. I recall sitting at her table at one of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce National Conventions, when the new all male national board was being introduced. Maria stood up in front of over 1000 attendees and repeatedly shouted “WHERE ARE THE WOMEN”. Within seconds, everyone stood up and shouted out as well. I will miss her endearing reference to me as Juanito and the many lunches and events we attended together. I extend my deepest sympathy to Maria’s family and the community for your loss. She will forever rest lightly on my heart.
