Su personalidad era vibrante y entrañable, caracterizada por sus intenciones amorosas y su calidez genuina.

A María le sobreviven su amado esposo de 43 años, Jesús Ramón Valenzuela, así como sus hijas, Lorenia Hernández, Yadira Hernández y Conchita Hernández.

Además, es la orgullosa abuela de sus bisnietos Khiana, Damian, Hailey, Baby Ray y Dylan.

María estaba indudablemente orgullosa de la vida que vivió y a menudo expresaba su amor por su familia. Deja atrás un legado perdurable lleno de amor, fortaleza y unión.
