Maria Lopez Obituary
Maria was born on November 6, 1930, in Isabella, Puerto Rico, to Felicita Roldan and Francisco Valle. She spent her early years in Puerto Rico before moving to The Bronx, where she lived for over 70 years.
Maria's life was centered around her family, and her greatest joy came from caring for them. Renowned for her exceptional cooking, she created countless cherished meals that will forever be remembered by those who shared them. Maria played a vital role in raising generations of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her sense of humor, loving nature, and compassionate spirit left an indelible mark on all who knew her.

Lopez, Jr. She is survived by her daughter-in-law Glenda (Junior); her daughter Mildred Solis (Mike); her sons Juan Lopez (Iris), Wilfredo Lopez, and Frank Lopez; as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and nieces and nephews whom she adored.
