Maria de Alvarado Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by River Woods Funeral Chapels - Des Plaines on Jan. 13, 2026.
María Garay Alvarado partió a los 92 años el 10 de enero de 2026, dejando un legado inmenso de amor, fortaleza y dulzura.

Fue hija, hermana de seis, madre dedicada de cuatro hijos, abuela orgullosa de diez nietos y bisabuela amorosa de dos.

Siempre llenó nuestros corazones con su sonrisa, con su cariño sincero, su nobleza y su inmenso corazón. Fue una mujer fuerte, sabia y generosa, que compartió sus historias como tesoros y nos enseñó con su ejemplo el valor de la familia, la perseverancia y el amor incondicional.

Fue querida y admirada por todos los que tuvieron la bendición de conocerla. Su recuerdo vivirá para siempre en nosotros, acompañado de una sonrisa, de alegría serena y de una profunda paz.

Descansa en paz, abuelita. Tu amor nos seguirá guiando por siempre.
