Maria will always be remembered for her positive and vibrant spirit. Such a wonderful lady.

My, my, my... what can I say about Maria. I've known her for 11 years now; at the time, I worked in the Women's Center( which was formerly located in the SCI ground floor. She worked RTU which was located behind the women ctr). Maria has always been an inspiration to me. She referred me to a Salsa dance class, always very active and health conscious! She was the one who put in a "good word" for me to then Nurse Manager over Specialty clinics-and yes, I was selected to work there, back in say,2008. I last saw Maria last July. I was telling her that I was transferring to another location. She was so happy for me. Let me stop now as I would be writing a THESIS of how much she meant to me.  I will always love her. May God bless her and her family.

Your endless smile, your compassion and care for your Veterans will be missed.

Maria was one of the first people to greet me when I moved from Philadelphia to join the Tampa VA.  Her smile, laughter, wisdom and welcoming nature comforted me and confirmed that my move was a good one.  Though we only knew each other for a short time, Maria will always hold a special place in my heart. Her spirit is an eternal light.

Our friend Maria, you are sorely missed, but will never be forgotten. You are a beautiful person, a veterans savior, a special care giver, great friend, mother, grandmother, selfless, and a role model for humanity. Without your unwavering assistance, dedication, and professional care, my husband ( Glenn)  would have fallen through the cracks and physically not with us. I am certain you have engrained a legacy. We mourn for your entire family and friends through this difficult passage. With our deepest appreciation and love!

Oh Mary I had not seen you for at least 35 years but I always asked and searched for you and Lester.
Now I have found you but late through a mutual friend Margie Feliciano. You were always s great woman, neighbor and friend. I searched for you and just found out today that you only lived 5 minutes away from my daughter who lives in Wesley Chapel. It wasn't meant to be here on earth but I will see you and 
Lester one day up above. May you Rest In Peace and you have never and will never be forgotten.

Maria inspired me to become an RN at the VA in 1995 when I changed careers.  We met at Mademoiselle Spa in Carrollwood where we were both active members.  Our friendship continued and she became not only a friend in fitness, but also a valued colleague.  I will miss her upbeat spirit and her smile.  My prayers are with her family and friends.

So many happy memories of a legendary nurse, colleague and friend.  Her boundless energy, concern, advice and passion for her patients (and her coworkers!) was an inspiration and a blessing.  Thank you for everything Maria!

Maria lived her life full of positive energy and her vibrancy was just emitted to everyone, there was no stranger to Maria.  She will be remembered for her natural gift to make a difference in someone's life, every single day.  It consoles me to imagine her festive entry through those pearly gates of heaven. Her physical presence is gone but her spirit is very much alive.

Maria was a phenomenal nurse and an amazing and compassionate human being. The world has lost an angel but Heaven has gained one. I pray for peace and comfort for her family at this time. Maria will be forever missed and never forgotten! Rest peacefully my dear and I'll see you again one day. 

Larger than Life. You will be missed from this world in so many ways. Love and peace to your family. Imelda Singer.

Maria was a force of nature...vibrant, powerful woman. Her spirit remains in all of us who knew her! May her family be comforted in the days ahead as we all mourn this physical loss. The stars shine brighter at night with her spirit light. Cynthia Futral-Eason (Tampa, FL)
