Maria Isabel Lopez

October 15, 2020 at Tucson Medical Center, with her son by her side.

Isabel was a resident of Tucson for the last 30 years. She was born in

Nogales, Sonora. She came to Tucson and remained here all of her life.

Isabel was proud of her Hispanic culture. She was always very independent. She had two wonderful children that she was very proud of and loved deeply.

She also had 5 lovely grandchildren that she adored. Isabel always tried to

do her best at everything. Nothing pleased her more than cooking for and taking care of others. She also loved caring for and playing with her 2 dogs.

She was unselfish in her love and liked spending time caring for and

sharing time with family and friends.

She loved her novelas and enjoyed making her home lovely, comfortable and peaceful. She was particularly good at cooking. She made many beautiful and professional looking cakes and posted lots of recipes and pictures of her culinary accomplishments. She had a great sense of humor, an infectious

laugh and had a unique and kind spirit.

Isabel was a very proud and honest woman. She cared deeply for others

and was a good and sincere mother. She always did her best to provide

for and to take care of her family.

Isabel was extremely dedicated, creative and loyal to her family and friends. She was immensely proud of her family and leaves beautiful memories

in the hearts and minds of all of those that knew her well.

Isabel is survived by her two children;

Daughter; Claudia Smelko, husband (Zach Smelko) residents of Colorado.

Son; Carlos Esparza resident of Tucson, Arizona.

Five Grandchildren; Lexie Esparza Aileen Gonzalez, Renaldo Grami,
