She also leaves to mourn many nieces and nephews, extended family and friends. Maria was a loving person who extended her love to all those around her. Her smile would light up any room she walked into. She had a warmth about her that could only be explained if you were fortunate enough to have encountered. Maria had great style, she loved to dance, laugh, sing and camp with family friends. She enjoyed all gatherings that would involve laughing with those she loved. Our precious angel has been taken from us, always loving, always loved.
