Maria Annelisa Zuniga Obituary (1978 - 2011)

Maria was born September 21, 1978. She did the things most kids did, went to school, made friends and flipped upside down on the monkey bars to show the playground her underpants. Maria lived life on her own terms. And her terms didn't change as she got older. She was a very strong willed woman who faught for what she thought was right. And her fight was even more important when she had her first son, David in 1997. Although Maria was rebelious, life had a way of helping her settle down. And one of those ways was another beautiful son, Braeden, born in 1999. Life was hard with two small children but Maria found time to laugh, love, and make beautiful memories. As she watched her boys grow, Maria found a partner with strength to match her own, Hector. And then came little Isabelle in late 2010. Maria was taken from us too soon. And for that, we are truly sorry. But Maria will continue to live with us, every day, as we continue to love her and watch her beautiful children grow.
