Maria shared rides with us to our retired teachers luncheons. In the conversations we had, it was evident that she was a loving, kind and thoughtful wife and mother. She was also a dedicated teacher. Her presence will be missed by us all. May the Lord bless her.

Maria was such a warm sweet loving person. She always made people feel welcomed. She had a great smile. She could always make her grandson’s faces light up by just walking into the room. I see that great smile on her children and grandchildren. I’m sure by her being a teacher she also put a smile on her students faces. I know she loved helping people.  I know she was very proud of her family and loved them dearly. She will be deeply missed. Her children and grandchildren have that bright and welcoming smile she had and I  will always think of her when I see one them smiling.
