María Aurora Márquez, de 91 años, nació el 16 de marzo de 1934 en Lima, Perú, y falleció la mañana del 9 de septiembre de 2025 en Fairfax, Virginia. Aurora fue la amada esposa de Manuel Miguel Márquez García y conocida como la matriarca de la familia. Católica devota, Aurora vivió su vida guiada por su profunda fe en Dios y encontraba alegría en asistir a misa y rezar el Rosario. También disfrutaba cocinar, hacer pupiletras y bailar cuando sonaba su canción favorita.
Sus amigos y familiares, incluyendo a sus hermanos, primos, nietos, bisnietos, sobrinos y, especialmente, a sus cinco hijos: Paula Susana, Ana Cecilia, Manuel Alberto, Lida Aurora y Brenda Georgina, quienes la aman con todo su corazón, y la extrañarán inmensamente. Su fe, amor y espíritu permanecerán con nosotros para siempre.
