Maria will the kind of person that would see you eat before she fed herself, would make sure you had a seat before she would sit herself, she was always involved, you could count on it. Around her sometimes it would seem chaotic but she had it under control. She was a loving wife, a good mother, a giving grandmother/great grandmother, a friend, someone to talk to and tell your problems . She will be missed and always be in my heart.
Sincere condolences to the family and friends of Maria.
