Maria de la Luz de Leon

Maria was a loving and warm-hearted person. Her presence would light up any room the moment she walked in. She cherished spending time with her family, and nothing brought her more joy than being with her grandchildren — they were truly the light of her life. Maria expressed her deep love for her family through her cooking, pouring her heart into every meal she prepared. Her kitchen was a place of comfort, connection, and care.

She had a vibrant spirit and many passions. Maria loved shopping, gardening, and sewing, and she had a special talent for finding treasures while thrift shopping. She enjoyed listening to music, cheering on her beloved Dallas Cowboys during football season, and filling her home and life with the color blue — her favorite. Maria’s warmth, kindness, and joyful energy will be remembered always.

Maria’s warmth, kindness, and joyful energy will be remembered always. She will be forever remembered in the people she loved. Her legacy lives on in every shared meal, every laugh, every memory made with those who were lucky enough to know her.
