It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Maria Alicia De Jesus, who departed this world on August 29th, 2023. She was born on November 15, 1944, in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico, to Pedro & Eulogia Alicia, and her life was a testament to love, resilience, and unwavering devotion.
Maria was the loving wife of Jose A De Jesus, and together, they shared a journey of love and companionship that spanned a lifetime of 65 years. Their love was a shining example to all who had the privilege of witnessing it, a bond that stood the test of time, and a legacy that will forever endure.
Maria was not only a devoted wife but also a loving and nurturing mother to her five sons, Jose (Margarita) De Jesus, Luis (Luz) De Jesus, Miguel (Jaqueline) De Jesus, Edwin De Jesus, and Samuel De Jesus.. She poured her heart and soul into raising them, imparting her wisdom, values, and love in every moment. Her love and guidance continue to shape their lives, serving as a constant reminder of her enduring presence.
In addition to her immediate family, Maria leaves behind a vast circle of loved ones, including 15 cherished grand kids. 15 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Maria predeceased by her brother Angel Ariel Martinez, and survived by her brother Angel Raphael Martinez. Her warm smile, kindness, and affectionate spirit endeared her to all who had the privilege of knowing her. She made everyone feel welcome and loved, and her home was a sanctuary of warmth and hospitality.
Maria's life was filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love. She had a zest for life that was infectious, and her enthusiasm for family gatherings and celebrations was unmatched. Her cooking, especially her signature dishes, will forever be etched in our memories, a reminder of the love she put into every meal.
As we bid farewell to Maria, we take solace in the knowledge that her love and legacy live on in the hearts of her family and friends. Her memory will continue to inspire us to cherish the bonds of family and the importance of love, kindness, and resilience in our lives.
