Maria Cristina Nunez, age 93, of Tegucigalpa, Honduras passed away on Sunday July 26th, 2020. María Cristina was born August 21, 1926 to Dominga Medina de Nunez and Miguel Nunez in her home country, Honduras. She married Rigoberto Giron in 1963. “Mami” or “ Dona Cristy”, as she was affectionally called, is survived by son Rigoberto Giron, daughters Geraldina Pufnock and Gilda Nunez de Lopez; and, daughter in law Maria Giron Figueroa; sisters Teresa Nunez, Irma Nunez, Elsa Nunez, and Ada Nunez; grandchildren Estefania, Ana, Rigoberto, Sebastian, Jose, Fernanda and Hector; and, great-grandson, Adrian. In 2009, she relocated to live in Acworth GA closer to her son and daughter but never forgot her roots and maintained close ties with family abroad. A woman of few words, she was the embodiment of unconditional love and affection for her family. Her daily acts of love and kindness spoke more than a thousand words and will remain with her loved ones forever. There are many special memories of Mami that the family will cherish, such as her smile and laughter, her cooking skills, her love of coffee and Coca Cola, being an avid gardener, and her obsession of the color red. As well as, the many beautiful memories of being a great mother, grandmother, sister, and friend to all who had the privilege of knowing her. In her latter years, that unconditional love was paid back through the selfless care and sacrifice that her daughter in law, Maria Jose, provided her, which the whole family owes an enormous debt of gratitude.
