Maria Elena Berardini

Maria Elena Berardini, 78, of Moreno Valley, California joined her parents in eternal life on June 19, 2014. She was born on August 18, 1935 to parents Jose and Eloisa Rosete in Puebla, Mexico. She was married in the spring of 1960 to Vito Tony Berardini and they started a family together in Riverside, California. Maria was a loving and nurturing wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. In her spare time she loved to do arts and crafts, work on intricate puzzles, and most importantly spend time with her family and friends. She enjoyed giving care packages to friends and neighbors. Most of all she loved to treat her great grandbabies and the children in her neighborhood to sweet treats and snacks. Maria also had a special place in her heart for her kitty cats. Her friendliness and kindness to all people, and her love for animals is a tribute to the beauty of her heart and soul. She was a very independent woman and though she had some physical ailments in her last years, she never let them get the best of her. She was lively and always kept herself busy. She was a blessing to many and her presence will be greatly missed by all. She is survived by her husband Vito Tony Berardini; her four children, Maria Saucedo, Vito Berardini, Carlo Berardini, and Filomena Powers; twelve grandchildren Anna Lucas, Victoria Velasquez, Reyes Rivera, Eddie Saucedo, Christopher Saucedo, Andrew Saucedo, Vito Berardini, Rochel Berardini, Anthony Berardini, Vincent Berardini, Alexa Berardini, and Michael Powers; and two great grandchildren Mia Lucas, and Mason Lucas.
