She worked hard her entire life and never complained. She was funny and outgoing, loved having parties especially the planning part. Maria had several jobs in her lifetime from cooking for her family while they worked on farms, hoeing or picking cotton and potatoes, to running a daycare, to sitting with old folks. She especially loved catering parties and banquets at NMMI the most. One of our fondest memories is of her listening to music and dancing while she cooked. She was a perfectionist. Her rose garden was always pruned and there wasn’t a weed in her grassy yard. She made sure her grandchildren were cared for and always had something ready to eat for them after school. For them, her checkbook was always open. Family was always first and she taught her children to work hard and love each other. On her last few days on earth, she said she forgot what church looked like. We prayed together and it refreshed her memory. Maria worked at NMMI for 24 years and retired to take care of her ailing mother. She loved spending time with her grandkids, playing bingo, going to the casino, and taking trips. She left this earth surrounded by her loved ones and we will forever miss our rock. She is survived by her husband, Jose Guadalupe Marquez; sister, Brunilda Trevino of Chicago, IL; daughters: Isabel (Juan) Lemus and Lucy Jaramillo; her only son, Carlos “Bandit” Jaramillo, III (Lisa) all of whom reside in Roswell, NM; niece, Norma (Arturo) Perez of Upper Marlboro, MD; grandchildren: Jared Barnhill, Marina Castillo (J.D.), Anthony “Archie” Herrera, Isreal Herrera, Carlos IV (LeeAndra) Jaramillo, Jacob Jaramillo, Alyssa Jaramillo, Darby (Susie) Perez, and stepson Guadalupe (Katrina) Marquez; great grandchildren: Rayelle Barnhill, Neveaha Pacheco, Johnny Ray Pacheco, Ezekiel Pacheco, AJ (Cinco) Jaramillo, and Carlee Jaramillo; brother-in-law, Jose (Joan) Marquez; sisters-in-law: Martha Trevino, Lucia (Rene) Otsuka, Lilia (Socorro) Loya, and Maria Elena Marquez.
