Maria E. "Betty" Salazar

Maria was preceded in death by her parents, Victor and Maria De La Garza, and her daughter Maria “Lulu” Salazar. She preceded her sister Hilda in death but was joined in passing on the same day.

Maria will be remembered by her loving husband of 43 years, Bruno Salazar. She’ll also be deeply missed by her children Juan “Tony” (Angie) and Victor H. Salazar. She leaves behind a legacy of grandchildren; Ricky, Ivan, Alex, Anthony, Lily, Angie, Neaveh, and Victor Salazar. Surviving her are also her siblings Victor, Nancy, and Norma.

Maria touched the lives of many and will be remembered for her giving and caring nature. Her life was devoted to her family, her children, but above all else her grandchildren. She was a proud grandmother who adored her grandchildren and loved them with all her heart.
