The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to our mother. She loved to jam out her music, participate in festivities and be surrounded by family. She had an appetite for seafood and was a sucker for the Cowboys (no judgement). Maria was and still is the epitome of live, love and laugh.
Maria is survived by her father: Frank; mother: Mattie; son: Ilquan; daughters: Kayla, Shala and Shadilynne; eleven grandchildren; her sisters: Nicole and Jackie and her brother: Frankie.
So let us all rejoice and know that she is absent from the body but present with the Lord.
