Maria C. Lombera, 61, of Bella Vista, AR, passed away on February 4, 2025, in Bentonville, AR. She was born on September 3, 1963, in Tijuana, Mexico, to Francisco Lombera-Torres and Guadalupe Urrutia-Martinez.
Maria was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend. As a single mother, she embraced both roles with unwavering strength, building a foundation not just for her children but for generations to come. Her love and dedication were evident in everything she did, ensuring a bright future for her family.
She had a generous heart, a playful spirit, and an endless curiosity about the world. She found joy in simple pleasures-spending time with loved ones, taking long drives, and getting lost in the stories of westerns and kung fu movies. A lifelong learner, she was deeply drawn to spirituality and meditation, becoming a Reiki master who believed in the power of healing. She also had a creative soul, expressing herself through crocheting and collecting antique sewing treasures from her thrift store adventures. Above all, Maria was a compassionate and supportive presence, always ready to listen, share a laugh, and uplift those around her.
Maria is preceded in death by her father, Francisco Lombera-Torres.
Maria is survived by her sons Luis Manjarres and Moises Manjarres (Ariel), her two daughters Keila Manjarres and Sophia Reyes-Lombera, and her mother Guadalupe Urrutia-Martinez.
Her strength, love, and resilience will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind. Though she is gone, her legacy endures in the lives she touched and the family she so fiercely loved.
Private funeral services will be held in her honor.
