Maria's obituary
Maria was a fantastic cook, creative and innovative in the kitchen. Cooking was an art to her and because of this the recipe was hardly ever the same twice. In this cooking process, she piled the dishes so high that scared even the messiest of guests. But, no one minded doing the dishes after getting to partake in her delicious creations.
She was a fabric artist, creating beautiful quilts that will be cherished by her family forever. During her youngest daughter’s figure skating days, she created many original ensembles and decked the majority of the NIFSC skaters in their uniform skirts.
You could always count on Maria for a laugh and a great story. To lighten the mood, she would sing songs or tell stories from her younger days. One that stands out to the grandchildren is the “Chiquita Banana song”. (Don’t ever put a banana in the refrigerator- Oh, no, no!)
During her professional career, the standout is her time at North Iowa CASA. She found her work fulfilling and rewarding to contribute to the lives of young children who needed a voice.
Maria is survived by her three children; Andrea (Shawn) Durbin, Charles (Sarah) Davis and Sara (Mitchell) Gore, grandchildren; Ricardo, Colton, Maria, Caleb, Christian, Larkin and Asher. Her two sisters; Carin (Jeff) Murphy and Anne (Dave) Will, her mother; Patricia McCary and her stepmother Regina VanMeter.
Maria was preceded in death by her father, Samuel VanMeter.
