Maria Ludwina Durr, age 92, passed away peacefully on April 19, 2024, in Jacksonville, Florida. She was born in Wiesentheid, Germany, and came to the United States in 1952 for work. She went back to Germany two years later and married her husband, George Durr. In 1954 they both immigrated to New York.
Maria built a wonderful life in America. She worked as a dedicated lab technician for Roux Laboratories for 35 years, raising her two children, Peter and Debbie, in New York and later Florida. Maria was a loving mother and grandmother to Stefan, Kevin, Stephanie, and Jennifer. Her family was her greatest joy.
Those who knew Maria remember her open and friendly spirit, along with her serious and direct nature. Above all, she was known for her deep love and care for those around her.
