Mary L Figueroa is my mother! My mother is and always will be my hero. No other like her straight forward and honest. Loved her family and friends. Stong work ethics, frugo with her finances, and lover of Christ. What ever extreme ideas I had, she would tell me (you can do what ever you want if you put effort and your mind to it, Funny, and very forgiving. Opened her home to anyone, My friends loved her. She helped alot of people during her life some with a place to live some with great food. I admire her for her stuggle as a single mother and always having a roof over my head, clothing, and food in my tummy. Always seeing the good in me even tho I was acting a fool. She never lied to me, always kept her word. Always being trasparent when it came to her life good or bad. She loved music and not just her generations music but mine too. Her life struggles did not define her but refined her. I will miss you mom and I will always be greatful for your sacrifice. I hang on to the hope that I will be with you in heaven one day.

Mary was my prima-hermana, our mothers were sisters and our fathers were brothers.  She always gave me advise, whether I asked for it or not. She gave me advise about anything under the sun. There were no barriers. She had a great sense of humor, she could make even a serious situation funny, just to lighten the mood. I recall her telling me, at the end of one of our conversations, "Hey we are all human, we are all going to judge & criticize others, but we have to try really hard, not to.".. As of late, she was giving me lots of advise about my health, telling me to eat right, to take care of myself, watch what I do, not to hurt myself, on & on.. I will heed her advise, as  best I can.. It is a very difficult time for everyone that loves her.  She is no longer on earth, but her memory always will be.  God bless all her children & my other cousins, her brother & sisters.

Who is Mary L. Figueroa (Malucha)
She was my oldest sister,my friend And Sometimes my mother.Malucha was a person who gave advice, a person who never turned away when i needed help.She was a strong person even after being left alone to raise her kids she did the best job a mother could ever do.She raised her Children to respect and treat everyone right and when she got sick she knew they would care for her like she cared for them.Malucha showed her kids that they should always love one another and because of her they are so close and taking care of each other today.My Sister Was Wise Always Helping Me In My Situations I could count on her for anything  she never judged me or gave me a hard time she just helped me.I could call my sister whenever whether it was to ask her something or just  gossip about novelas talk about the sales on grocery's or just talk about our day,and  no matter what my sister malucha always made me feel welcomed at her house she always let me know that her house was my house.She was and still is a great mother she raised her kids well and it shows till this day,after my mother passed away she took my brother Steven in even though it would be hard cause he is handicapped she still took care of him and now her kids are their just as loving and caring as their mother.My sister Malucha was a loving.caring,respectful and wise woman and i miss her sometimes i wonder what I'm gonna do with out her but i realize she's in a better place and she's watching over us.I love you sister - Your Sister Who Misses You Mary "pokey" Rodriguez

 I only had the priviledge of knowing Mary several years. She was a loving and caring person. She loved God and she loved her children and grandchildren. Mary you will be missed. God continue to encourage and strengthen your family. Susie Mendoza

Who was Mary L. Figueroa? She was a pillar to her children David, Angelina, Juanita, Tony and Sergio. Working to feed and care for her children by herself. She raised them to help each other in all they do as a family should. She was a teacher to those who would listen and walk with her not behind but right next to her. She was a person who would help anyone who needed help. She was a friend to the friend less and would give a listening ear to those who needed it. She would welcome you to her home when you came to visit unexpectedly. I will truly miss the sweet spirit she brought to a room and how she could tell you stories about the past and make you feel like you were really there. 
I know she will be missed by many including her children since she was a corner stone. One of my memories of Auntie Mary was when we went to Phoenix for Angelina wedding and she allowed us to pick any dresses she had in her closet. It took almost two days to go through all the clothing she had. She loved clothes. As we say farewell to her today we will still have her spirit upon us as we now travel our own journeys. 

Love,
Maria L Griego
