A loving, caring, wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, aunt, sister, niece, and cousin.
From her birth on September 11, 1968, Maria was a free spirited, nurturing soul.
Her smile, laughter, and heart of gold shined bright on everyone who crossed her path. She had a generous gift of unconditional love that even a stranger was blessed with. Family was Maria's priority and everyone who she called friend, she called family.
She is survived by, husband Mike Betrus; children, Derek, Chuck(Shannon), and Brittany; grandchildren, Madison, Haley, and Annabella; mother, Nuha (the late Judeh) Odeh; brothers, Charlie (Tane), Christopher, Frank (Tammy), and her nephew Judeh and niece Gabriella.
May her memory be eternal.
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
