Maria cared for her husband “Poppy” so lovingly with tenderness and patience. She loved all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly. She had the patience of a saint and always wore a smile. She believed in God and prayer. She never went anywhere empty-handed, she always brought “a little something”. She loved to go out for lunch, loved her chocolate, especially “kisses” and was happy to go to any store to browse. She loved a nice outfit with a matching handbag! She loved the pool, casino and had many friends.
