Maria married Carlos Herrera in the 1970s and moved her family to Chicago, IL in 1976. In 1989 they moved to Texas. She was a dedicated mother and wife. While living in Mexico she was book keeper, in Chicago she was a beautician and in Texas was in the food service industry for 18 years.
Maria Guadalupe Herrera, mother to Carlos Herrera & Roberto Herrera, has been battling cancer for two years. This last year however, she was able to gain her strength to be able to go back to church and participate with the church choir, among other activities she loved; spending time with her grandson, mall walking and bike riding. Maria Guadalupe Herrera has participated with numerous choirs throughout her life within the Diocese of Chicago, Dallas and Fort Worth.
In August of 2018, a new tumor in her abdomen manifested itself and was inoperable and therefore, the family had to then consider a palliative care option through hospice care. On October 2, 2018, she took her final breathe and made a peaceful transition.
