Maria Corazon worked at the Baldwin Packers Pineapple Cannery, Maui Land and Pineapple fields, and the Royal Lahaina Hotel where she retired due to a disability. She enjoyed working in the yard, tending to her plants. Everything she planted grew; she had a green thumb, even bringing dead plants back to life.

She loved to cook and she was the family's master chef. She did all the cooking for the family gatherings. Her favorite foods included fruit cake, pizzas, Panda's eggplant with tofu, and all kinds of sweets.

Much of her day was spent watching her favorite game shows: Price Is Right, Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy in addition to watching the Channel 4 news at 5pm.

Most of all she loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them. She would drop everything when the grandchildren visited. They were her heart. She was so kind, very generous, and extremely loving.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private service was held.
