Zulema Maldonado Obituary

Zulema Picaso Maldonado Our gentle, kind and loving, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend passed away Monday, December 2, 2013 in Lindsay, CA. Zulema Picaso Maldonado, 79 of Visalia, CA was born in San Antonio, Texas December 24, 1933. She was Blessed with 10 children. Five Sons, Luis and Mary Maldonado, David Maldonado, Tony and Andrea Maldonado, Michael and Rita Maldonado. Five Daughters, Mona Maldonado, Sabina and Oscar Garcia, Flora and Art Cesena, Linda and David Cox, Suzi Picaso and Joe Gonzalez. She loved her 24 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren. Zulema dedicated her life to her faith and children. She worked three jobs to support her family and would give away her last piece of bread to others more in need. Her sense of humor was so joyful and her guiding light to love and forgive others was infectious. She was preceded in death by her son Jesus, parents and brother Tony. She loved us unconditional, always by our side, When no one else would listen, in her we could confide. With gentle words of wisdom she led us on our way, Down the paths of righteousness if ever we did stray. She saw the light in everyone and gave with no regrets, Always from her heart let's us not forget. Angels come in many forms, for me it is my mother, With love I cannot say in words there'll never be another. Celebration of Life Services will be held 11:00 a.m. on Monday, December 9, 2013 at Webb-Sanders Funeral Chapel, 163 S. Mirage Ave., Lindsay, CA 93247.

To Those I Loved and Those Who Love Me,When I am gone,release me,let me go,I have so many things to see and do,you mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, be happy that we had so many years.I gave you my love.You can only guess how much you gaveto me in happiness.I Thank you for the love you each have shown.But now it's time I traveled on alone.So grieve a while for me,if you must,then let your grief be comforted by trust.It is only for a while that we must part. I won't be far away,for life goes on.So if you need me,call and I will come.Though you can't see or touch me,I'll be near.And if you listen with your heart,you will hear all of my love around you soft and clear.And then,when you must come this way alone,I'll greet you with a smile and"Welcome home."Love Mom,,

IN MEMORY OF MY MOTHER Zulema Maldonado,Gods Garden,God looked around His gargen And He found an empty place.He then looked down upon this Earth, and saw your tired face.He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest.God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.He knew that you were suffering, He knew that you were in pain. He knew you would never Get well on earth again He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb.So He closed your weary eyelids.And whispered,"Peace be thine", It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone.For part of us went with you The day God called you home.Love your son Tony,Andrea,suzi,Tony jr.
