Mary Perez Toves

December 24, 1942 – April 8, 2026

Mary Camacho Perez Toves was called to rest on April 8, 2026, at the age of 83, leaving behind a legacy of love that spans generations.

Born on December 24, 1942, in Tamuning, Guam, Mary is the daughter of Jose Santos Perez, known as “Tan Ping Perez,” and Ana Guerrero Camacho Perez. She graduated from the University of Guam and was a teacher at George Washington High School.

Mary valued spending time with family and friends. She loved crafts and playing Yahtzee and Scrabble with her sisters, having girl outings with her grand-daughters she fondly called her “tails", going to church, and playing golf with her many golfing friends at the Navy’s Admiral Nimitz Golf Course.

Throughout her life, from her earliest days in Guam to her later years in Las Vegas, she carried with her a spirit that was unmistakable—warm, vibrant, and deeply rooted in faith.

She was a social butterfly in every sense, someone who made people feel seen and welcomed. Her kindness was not quiet—it radiated. Her strength was steady. And her love, unwavering.

She is reunited in rest with her parents, her siblings Elizabeth Perez Manibusan, Vincent Camacho Perez, Johnny Camacho Perez, and Jesse Camacho Perez, and her Parents in law Pedro Toves
