Maria Fe E. Tarallo, 58, of Pasay City, Philippines, passed away peacefully after a month-long battle with accumulative strokes on November 4, 2025, at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Maria lived in the Philippines until 2013, when she immigrated to Maryland to live with her sister, Beth Gonzales; mother, Corazon Espinas; and nephew, Ethan Gonzales in Nottingham. During her time here, she worked as a CAE4 for Comcast and generously used what she had to help provide for her family here in the United States and for her partner and children back in the Philippines.
Together with her partner, Florelyn Martinez, they raised their son, Khalil Nash Manalo and daughter, Kate Rose Camil Manalo. Maria brought her love of dogs with them, rescuing strays off the streets and raising them in a warm and kind household, treating them as family members in their own right. She was also known for her sense of humor and carefree disposition, always putting her family first before herself.
After a long journey filled with hope, love, and determination, both Maria's partner and son immigrated to start the next chapter of their life together as a family on November 13, 2024. She is survived by her small and tightly-knit family and will be greatly missed.
A private viewing will be held at 9:00 AM on November 7, 2025 at Carewell Cremations.
