Maria de Jesus Gonzalez, affectionately known as Maria to her loved ones, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 23, 2025, at the age of 85. Born on September 3, 1939, in San Antonio, Texas, Maria was a lifelong resident of this vibrant city, where she grew up and spent most of her life on the west side with her family. Maria was a woman whose gentle presence and loving nature left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her.
Maria's life was a testament to her unwavering devotion to her family, her faith, and the simple joys of life. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, but her legacy continues through her four children, Eloisa Cordova, Tomas G. Gonzalez (Rachel Ledesma), Jorge J. Gonzalez (Dayanara) and his daughter Aziria Ortega, and Alejandra Maria Gonzalez (Kilian Aguilar). Maria's long-time friend, Rosalinda Fly, along with a host of extended family and friends, will forever remember her loving spirit.
Maria's commitment to her faith was evident in her involvement in the church over the years, where she served and participated with unyielding dedication. Maria's kitchen was a place of warmth and laughter, where she expressed her love through the delicious meals she lovingly prepared for her family.
Those who knew Maria were blessed by her gentle guidance and unwavering support. She was a loving mother not only to her own children but to all who crossed her path. Maria's pets also experienced her boundless affection and care, adding to the richness of her nurturing home.
Maria de Jesus Gonzalez will be remembered as a loving, faith-filled, and gentle soul, whose life was a beautiful tapestry woven with the threads of kindness, generosity, and grace. Her memory will continue to inspire those she leaves behind, as they carry forward the light of her love in their own lives. As we bid farewell to Maria, we find solace in the knowledge that her legacy of love and gentleness will continue to inspire and guide us.
