Most important to her was her family, friends, and especially her three children and grand-dogs. She loved to bring them all together by hosting gatherings at the home that she and her husband built in Orange. It was always filled with love, laughter, and special memories.
Maria is survived by her children, Stephanie (Russell) Roberts, Annaliese (Daniel) Dunn, and Philip (Nicolle) Reynolds; brother, Antonio (Michele) Vitti; brother-in-law, Daniel (Diane) Reynolds; and her nieces and nephews, including Julia and Johnny Vitti, Jennifer Vincent, and Beverly Ciskowski.
