Se aferró firmemente a su moral y creencias, ganándose el respeto y la admiración de quienes la rodeaban. Su personalidad era vibrante y entrañable, caracterizada por sus intenciones amorosas y su calidez genuina.

Entre sus pasiones se encontraban los momentos agradables que pasaba compartiendo comidas con su familia.

Disfrutaba del tiempo que pasaba con ellos, formando vínculos duraderos y recuerdos preciados.

A María le sobreviven su amado esposo de 43 años, Jesús Ramón Valenzuela, así como sus hijas, Lorenia Hernández, Yadira Hernández y Conchita Hernández.

Además, es la orgullosa abuela de sus bisnietos Khiana, Damian, Hailey, Baby Ray y Dylan.

María estaba indudablemente orgullosa de la vida que vivió y a menudo expresaba su amor por su familia. Deja atrás un legado perdurable lleno de amor, fortaleza y unión.

El velatorio se llevará a cabo el 17 de enero de 2025 en Martinez Funeral Chapels en Nogales, Arizona, de 11:00 a. m. a 3:00 p. m., seguido de un rosario de 1:00 p. m. a 2:00 p. m. La familia invita a todos los que conocieron a María a reunirse para recordar su extraordinaria vida.
