Maria del Carmen Cayuela

She was a woman of great faith and she loved her family wholeheartedly.

She is survived by her two children, Pedro Francisco (Heather) Cayuela and Maria Elena Candelaria (Kenneth Little). Two grandchildren, whom she loved dearly, Sawyer and Blakely. Sister, Milly Cencula (Jose). Her nieces and nephews, Cathy, Jenny (Christian), Jackie, Ricky (Brittany) Christian Jr., Seth, Hannah, Eliana, Matthew, Danyl, Lizzie, Ryland and Nolan. She was brilliant, funny, loving & so optimistic.

She lived in Chicago, Illinois in her younger days and moved to Georgia to be closer to her family and that's where she attended college. She eventually started a small translating business, where she worked side by side with doctors and patients that needed help with translation. She spent the later part of life working as a gift wrapper at Bed, Bath & Beyond, where she enjoyed making people smile and laugh.

She was always so joyous and full of life and often times the life of the party. Usually the first to start singing and dancing and bringing others in on the fun, never wanting it to end. She enjoyed making any and everyone feel welcome and comfortable. She had the biggest heart and would welcome you into her home without hesitation. She was a very loved and cared for woman that will be missed greatly. As much as it saddens us to have to lay her to rest, we are at peace knowing she is no longer in any pain and is now rejoicing with the Lord. May her sweet soul finally Rest In Peace. She is preceded in death by her mother, Hermelinda Cayuela and father, Pedro Cayuela Mateo.
