Maria Elena Villalva

Growing up, Maria Elena grew to have her dad’s quick wits and her mom’s caring ways. She devoted her life to her three children Oscar, Ania, and Paola Garcia Villalva, whom she loved with all of her being. She was the most selfless woman and mother, tirelessly devoting everything to her children and giving them the best life she possibly could. She loved spending time with her family, going on trips and going to the beach. Maria Elena truly enjoyed caring for other people as she spent many years as a nurse alongside her husband and later in life as a caregiver. One of her greatest joys in life was spending time with her two grandchildren, Jayden and Julian.

Maria Elena is preceded in death by her parents, Dr. Raul and Geraldine Villalva, and husband, Dr. Oscar Garcia Murray. Maria Elena is survived by her son, Oscar Garcia Villalva and fiancé Nadine; daughters, Ania Garcia Villalva and Paola Garcia Villalva; grandchildren Jayden and Julian Garcia Villalva; brother, Raul Villalva and wife Yamilde (Yami); sister, Maria Teresa Villalva; nephews, Ian, Steven, and Rodrigo.
