Maria was a member of Apostolic Tabernacle Church for over 30 years. She loved the Lord with all her heart and might. She was known as “Momma Lucio” to all. Our mother was a homemaker and a mother who saw to her children’s needs at all times. She always made big dinners and lots of fresh homemade tortillas for you to eat. She collected brass Noah’s Arks, she loved gardening and reading.
We would like to thank Hinds Hospice for the care they provided for our mother. And to also thank all of our care providers, in making sure our mother’s needs and comfort were met and cared for.
