Maria Aurora Cervantes, a beloved daughter, sister, and mother, passed away of natural causes on November 9, 2025, at the age of 35. Born on August 7, 1990, in Salem, Oregon, Maria was a shining light in the lives of all who knew her.

A proud graduate of North Salem High School, Maria carried her education with grace and determination. After her studies, she dedicated her career to being a caregiver at CSP, where her nurturing spirit shone through.

Maria was an active member of the Saint Edwards Catholic Church in Keizer, Oregon. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, guiding her through both joyful and challenging times. As a member of her church community, she found solace in her spirituality and forged deep connections with those around her.

Maria had a vibrant spirit that filled every room with laughter. She found joy in spending time with her family, writing, singing, dancing, shopping, and driving. Her passions reflected her free spirit and her love for life. Maria was known for her caring nature, her giggles, and her ability to uplift those around her. She was a wonderful mother, always putting her daughters' needs first, and instilled in them the same love and kindness that defined her.

Maria's life was one of love, joy, and community. Her legacy is carried on through her children and the many lives she touched with her warmth.

Maria's funeral service will be held at St. Edwards Catholic Church on November 15, 2025, at 10:30 AM, where friends and family will gather to celebrate her beautiful life and share cherished memories.

In her passing, Maria Aurora Cervantes leaves a void that can never be filled. Her loving spirit and joyful laughter will forever echo in the hearts of her family and friends.

Rest in peace.
