It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Maurine Evette Armenta who departed prematurely on September 24, 2023. Maurine was a cherished daughter, loving mother, devoted sister, fun loving Tia and a loyal friend, who’s presence brought warmth and light to all who had the opportunity of knowing her. Her sudden departure has left a void in our lives that can never be filled, but her memory will continue to shine brightly in our hearts.

Born January 5, 1967, Maurine was a radiant soul, spreading love, warmth and laughter wherever she went. Her smile could brighten the day, and her laughter was infectious. She had an extraordinary capacity for love and a way of making everyone feel truly special. As the first born daughter, she was always there to help in any way she could. She was quite a crafty being that could make something spectacular out of nothing. As a mother, she was a mama bear whose love knew no bounds. She always made sure her kids were loved and protected. She was a sister whose bond was unbreakable and as a Tia she made special memories that will last a lifetime. Her friends had a gift of true loyalty as Maurine would give the jacket off her back.

Maurine poured her heart and soul into being a loving mother, guiding and nurturing her children with unwavering dedication. She provided them with the tools to navigate life’s challenges and encouraged them to follow their dreams. Her legacy lives on through the values and lessons she instilled in them.

Her life was a testament to the power of love and the impact one person can have on the lives of others. For over 30 years, she has chosen the selfless act to save a life by being a donor. We are all proud of the miracle that she has given and admire her for this heroic act of love. She taught us the value of compassion, empathy, and the importance of treasuring every moment. Her memory will forever serve as a reminder of the beauty of life once lived. In honoring Maurine’s memory let us consider the lives we too can save by following her footsteps.

Though we mourn her untimely departure, we find solace in the hope that she is now at peace with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Maurine may no longer be with us in person, but her spirit, her love, and her cherished memories will continue to bless us all.
