On November 28, 2017, Maria left us to begin a new adventure from which she will not be returning. While many, including her loving husband, family and friends, are heartbroken, they know it was a journey she had to take. Maria hopes to see her long missed mother, father and other family and friends, including a few four-legged ones. She will continue spending time in her garden, taking long walks with friends and pets and most of all spend lazy days on favorite beaches; peace, love and laughter is guaranteed. Her husband, Jamie and his family; Maria’s brothers, Jay and Allen Debake; their wives, Lynn and Debbie and their families, invite all of Maria’s friends to celebrate the life and spirit of a beautiful woman and the rich life she lived well. The celebration will be held on Saturday, December 16, 2017, 2pm at Catalina United Methodist Church, 2700 E. Speedway Blvd. Tucson, AZ. Reception to follow at the Arizona Inn, bring pictures and memories. If you wish to donate in Maria’s name, consider donating to the Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Research Foundation. www.accrf.org.
