Mary Jane Arriaga

With broken hearts and aching souls, we must say goodbye to someone whose uplifting presence was such a powerful force that we were given proof that the angelic truly walk amongst us. A person so beautiful, selfless, loving, generous, radiant and warm that those around her could not help but be infected by her joy and light. Her sweet smile never failed to light up a room and uplift the spirit. Mary J. Arriaga was a loving mother, the best kind of friend, and the type of teacher that you remember for a lifetime. She was the best wife a man could ever be lucky enough to share a life with. She was devoted, patient, and as sweet as she was stunningly beautiful. High school sweet hearts, Mary and Tom, had 42 years of unceasing love together, sharing a precious bond that grew stronger like a priceless wine. Their love continued its perfection with the passing of time; rare, refined, respected, a marriage worthy of admiration and celebration. Her children, Amy and TJ, her beautiful daughter in law, Melissa, and her precious grand daughter, Briony, know that she was always there to give her unconditional love, support, encouragement, and wisdom. Let us celebrate the life of this beautiful person and incredible soul. Mary J. Arriaga 1958-2014
