She also leaves behind many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins who will forever cherish her memory. Maria's family was the center of her world, and her love and devotion to them will be remembered always.
Maria had a creative and joyful spirit. She loved sewing and crocheting-crafting beautiful things with her hands. She found great joy in baking, especially when it meant sharing with others. She also loved shopping and never passed up the chance to add a little sparkle-Maria always had to have some bling. Live music brought her to life, and she never missed a chance to enjoy a celebration filled with rhythm, dancing, and community.
