Tell us about him/her. Maria had a special connection with kids - all kids. She found a “home” with CZC as a volunteer nurse over the past several years. This memorial fund is in honor of her legacy of service, integrity, dedication and love for others.

What made him/her smile? Maria was a fighter from day one, facing many medical challenges. Through 30+ surgeries she kept a positive attitude and brought a special light to the world, finding her calling as a caregiver for others. Her compassion and dedication to her patients and coworkers was matched only by her limitless love for family and friends. She served on mission trips in the US, Haiti and Morocco furthering her reach of compassion. Her smart, witty, adventurous & loving nature touched so many in profound ways. Soar with the eagles now, sweet Maria.
