Maria worked hard to get her degree in nursing. She believed education was a privilege, and
instilled her strong work ethic in us all. She retired from Sharmar in 1999.
Maria was loved by everyone. She loved to play practical jokes. She was a powerhouse. She
was a force to be reckoned with. She was a whole home. She was an era. She was the picture
of what a Great woman should be. No one followed the path of Jesus quite as closely as her.
She was the embodiment of acceptance and love. She will be forever loved and missed. Per her
wishes, no services will be held.
