Maria married the love of her life, Jim, on August 8, 1970. They met while in college and they were married nearly 47 years before he passed away on March 7, 2017. Maria and Jim were a true team, both personally and professionally. Together they created a successful advertising agency, and enjoyed travel and meeting new friends along the way.
Before retiring to Florida, they lived most of their years in Roanoke and Smith Mountain Lake, VA, where they had a “family” of devoted and cherished friends.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date. If family and friends desire, donations may be made to the church or charity of their choice in memory of Maria.
