Maria Reyna Rios

Our beloved Maria “Mary” Rios was called home to our Lord on Saturday, December 3, 2022, at approximately 9 am. She was born on December 5, 1937, in El Maneado Ranch, Texas in the Rio Grande Valley to Esidro L. Reyna and Josefa Valdez Reyna. She was one of 8 children and devoted her love and time to serving her church, family, and community. She was an active member of St. Mary Magdalen parish for many years serving on the Altar Society, teaching CCD, and organizing and working at the church Angel thrift Store. She worked 25+ years in North East ISD as an elementary teacher aide and principal’s secretary. She would take on any tasks and get the job done efficiently. Everyone knew they could count on Mary!

Maria “Mary” is survived by her siblings, Lupita Reyna, Arturo Reyna (Dali), and Rene Reyna, son’s Eddie Rios (Marilyn) and Roland Rios (Leticia), and daughter Delva Rios Perez. She is also survived by her precious grandchildren whom she loved tremendously: Ariana Daniels (Tyler), Victoria Rios (Daniel Ramirez), Aaron Rios, Josef Rios, Madeleine Buckle (Joseph), Arica Perez, and Aidden Robledo. “Mimi” was also fortunate to have spent some time with her great grandchildren: Brayden Lee Daniels and Kinsley Jane Daniels.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, Arnoldo “Nono” Rios, her parents Esidro and Josefa Reyna, and siblings: Ricardo Reyna, Isidro Reyna Jr., Janie Martinez, and David Reyna.

Maria “Mary” was a true example of leadership and love. She devoted an immeasurable time and her talents in helping others. She was a faithful servant of God and loved her family unconditionally. She will be greatly missed but will always be remembered by her joyous laugh, beautiful smile, and loving care.
