MARIA SANCHEZ Obituary

Sig, I'm so sorry to hear about Maria's passing. I'm sending you a big hug and much love. Maria and you were two of the first wonderful people we met in Santa Fe, and you found us our fabulous home and community. Both Ed and I will never forget her smile, her warmth and her beautiful generous heart. I wish you peace and love during this time.

We are sad for loss;sending strength and love !!

Stunned to see this. I took a class at the Santa Fe Community Foundation with Maria a number of years ago, and she was fun and delightful. Her participation made the whole thing more fun. I am so sorry for your loss.

Signe while I did not know your wife and partner in life. Anyone who spent 28 years of their life together had forged a very special relationship. May the sadness now always be brightened by the life you spent together.

We were so lucky to meet Maria on several occasions. She was a beautiful person, inside and out. She had a sparkle in her eyes. It was clear how much she loved you, Sig. We felt our hearts sink when we learned of Maria's passing. We hope you and all of Maria's loved ones feel surrounded by love now.

Semi Precious says it all....peace

Sig, I´m holding you in the light. You and Maria were so supportive of us raising our children and our gratitude continues.
Goddess light all around you to keep you safe and warm!
Much live,
Mary and Hope

Dearest Sig, my heart breaks for you. Take good care.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
Rest in Peace.

Tia Maria! I have and will always love you dearly. You helped me to become a man aa´s teenager and even more importantly saved my life by helping me get sober. Your humor and love for me was and is absolutely priceless. I will carry your torch of recovery, love and kindness to others. Te amo Tia, verte mas tarde.

Signe and Family, I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your beautiful Maria. I feel so blessed to have known such a wonderful person, I always felt so uplifted, happy and positive after speaking with her. Maria will be so deeply loved wherever her journey takes her. We have all lost a treasure, but we carry our loved ones in our hearts forever.

A beautiful lady with a beautiful heart, Maria will be missed.

Signe, I am so sad your Maria has left you and her Earthly home... She is Happily gathered together with her family and friends in Heaven.

Maria provided me and my family with many years of Priceless memories..
My first was.. she had a turtle in her yard that she took care of.
From there I learned she loved rabbits. She had a keen eye for Southwest Pottery. I admired her sense of fashion.. most importantly her Native Jewelry. Her most delicious Flank Steak was 5 ´s .
I remember a fun afternoon at Ten Thousand Waves.. Maria, you and I had the best laughs ever that day! I went home with the worst sunburn of my life that day!
Maria, and my sister Signe, came here to spend a Christmas with us and our Mom. Her wit was priceless.. she provided me with my favorite all time expression.. it has never failed to get a laugh!
Maria and Signe together have been the best example of what a `Favorite Great Aunt´ is.
I could go on for hours about my memories.. Maria, I loved the trip we shared, you will be sadly missed.. as the familiar tune plays ... `Thanks for the Memories,´
May you now rest in peace.

Maria, who loves ya?

Maria was a bright light in so many people's life.

Our deep condolences to Sig, family & friends!
Loved working with Maria on numerous moving/storage jobs for mutual clients.
Beautiful, kind, genuine and honest.
Vaya con Dios

With sadness and with love we extend our sincere condolences to Sig and family on Maria´s passing. What a bright intelligent woman who shared her beauty and laughter with us. I got to enjoy Maria´s company more this last Spring as we took water aerobics together at the SFCC. What trooper she was. I can still hear her voice and laughter. Enjoy the blessings of God Our Father Maria! Love.
