Maria always had a warm welcome to all who came to her house and coffee was always ready. She loved her family and put her family first in her life. She prepared delicious suppers at her home which were enjoyed by all and she was happiest to have family with her around her table. She enjoyed her daily phone conversations with friends and she was known for delicious cake and peanut brittle.
