Maria Luisa Lerma

Maria first met her husband, Alfredo "Blackie", when they attended Hawthorne Middle School together. They met several years later and were married for 42 years. Maria worked as a seamstress specializing in drapery curtains for Miller Curtain Company for 40 years. She enjoyed water aerobics, friendships at the Good Samaritan Center, bingo and her plants.
