In Loving Memory of Maria Del-Refugio Rios Valles
It is with love and sadness that we share the passing of Maria Del-Refugio Rios Valles, who passed away peacefully at her home in San Antonio on Thursday.
Born on August 20, 1958, in Piedras Negras, Mexico, Maria lived a vibrant and expressive life. A woman of strong Catholic faith, she leaned on her beliefs through life’s many challenges. She had a deep love for art, music, and Mexican culture, and her appreciation for comedy, imagination, and self-expression brought joy and color to the world around her. Her laughter, honesty, and originality left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.
Maria is survived by her spouse who is currently in hospice. She is also survived by her three children: Amira Alsareinye (Khaled Momani); Reina Ruqayyah; and Zane Alsareinye (Edie Osuma). She is also survived by her grandchildren: Soultan, Isa, and Maryam; her sisters: Sylvia Tellez, Julie Garza, Carol Guerra, Mercy Valles, and Bertha Valles; and her many beloved nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Manuel Valles and Bertha Hernandez-Rios, and her sisters, Carmen Valles and Amelia Valles.
Funeral services for Maria Del-Refugio Rios Valles will be held on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Family and friends are warmly invited to attend and celebrate Maria’s life, faith, and the creative light she shared with the world.
May her spirit continue to inspire creativity, laughter, and faith in all whose lives she touched.
