Mrs. Mary G. Moreno of Miami, Arizona passed away surrounded by her family on November 25, 2022. She was born on February 25, 1930 in Peoria, Arizona to Martin and Emilia Garcia. She was preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, Eddie P. Moreno, son, Marcos, and daughters, Rebecca and Yolanda. She is survived by her sons, Eddie Moreno II, Michael Moreno, Randy Moreno, Andrew Moreno, and Juan Moreno, daughter Anna Rodriguez, brother Martin Garcia, and sisters Carmon Beltran, Emilia Vizzera, and Ernestina Contreras. She is also survived by 22 grandchildren, over 30 great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.
Mary grew up on Waddell Ranch in Arizona. She and Eddie raised nine children together. When her children were younger, she was an active participant in their athletic and scholastic endeavors, and even received an “Honorary Cheerleader” award from their high school. When her grandchildren came along, she did her best to attend as many of their events as she could. Her family was her proudest achievement.
When Mary wasn’t cheering on her family, attending church, or calling the radio station, she could be found cooking. She was an amazing cook known for her bean burritos, tamales, and capirotada. She showed her love through her cooking. “Are you hungry?” was always one of the first things she said to visitors and her family. Mary also enjoyed reading the Bible and newspaper and watching TBN. She was a frequent caller to her local radio station and became well known to those who worked there. She also found time to visit Italy, Greece, and Rome.
Mary was actively involved in her church and was always serving the Lord. Mary was a God-fearing and faithful woman. She would tell everybody, “You need to know Jesus!” She wanted everybody to know about the Lord and His many works.
A visitation will be held December 6 from 6 to 9PM at Thompson Funeral Chapel in Goodyear, Arizona. A funeral service will be held December 7 at 10am at St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Goodyear, Arizona. Burial will follow at West Resthaven Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, Arizona.
