In Loving Memory of Maria Horta Born 6/30/1933 Date of Passing 5/28/2025 It is with deep love and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Maria Horta cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, who peacefully departed this life on 5/28/25 at the age of 93. Maria was a devoted mother to her three children, a proud grandmother to four grandchildren, and a doting great-grandmother to four great-grandchildren. Her greatest joy in life was her family, and she poured her heart into creating a warm, welcoming home where laughter and love were always in abundance. Maria had a natural gift for nurturing—both people and plants. Known for her green thumb, she could grow a tree from a simple seed, bringing life and beauty to every corner of her garden. Her hands, always busy and full of care, were just as skilled in the kitchen as they were behind the sewing machine. Whether cooking a favorite family meal, her famous deserts or fixing a hem, Maria found joy in the details and gave her whole heart to everything she did. Her remedies were simple—herbs from the garden and soup made with love—but they held a kind of magic that brought comfort to all who needed it. Her home was a haven where meals brought people together, stories were shared freely, and love was always in season. She had strength, a determined spirit, and an unwavering dedication to those she held dear. Maria's legacy of love, strength, and generosity will live on through her family and all who were lucky enough to know her. She leaves behind a lifetime of beautiful memories and a family deeply grateful for the time they had with her. She will be missed beyond measure and remembered always.
