Maria Erlinda was affectionately known as “Erlie” to many, most endearingly as “Mom” to her three children, and lovingly as “Lola” to her 7 grandchildren. As a nurse for over 40 years, she truly loved caring for others, and always did it with a smile. She had the most contagious smile that made a lasting impression on anyone who knew her. There are not enough words to describe such a genuinely kind and beautiful person, but her memory will forever be honored in the lives she touched.
