Maria Ortega Obituary

Our Eternal Creator welcomed Maria A. Ortega to his celestial kingdom on August 9, 2025. Born on January 13, 1947 to Hector Morales and Maria (Tuchi) Avila, Toni is survived by her husband of 56 years Miguel, daughter Regina McCarty (Jason), and son Michael. She is also survived by sisters Ann Lopez, Cecilia Currieri (Vince), and Norma Paz (Stan), and many nieces, nephews, and cousins and the Ortega family. She dearly loved all of them as she adored her Lord and savior Jesus.

She blessed all her family and friends with her unconditional love, kindness, understanding, and compassion.

Her parents, sisters Gloria Leon, Irma Abril, brothers Hector and Eugene, and several nieces and nephews preceded her in death.

Toni leaves behind many friends and coworkers whose lives she blessed with her kindness, affection, and a huge smile. She retired as a Supervisor in the Bureau of the Census. She was also a member of The Metcalf Club Verde, Los Vatos de Clifton-Morenci, and Los Locos of Tucson.

A Rosary will be recited at 9:00 a.m. prior to her funeral Mass at 10:00 a.m. on September 19,2025 at Corpus Christi Catholic Church.
