Mariarosaria Arguelles, age 63, of Hughesville, Maryland, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at the University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center in La Plata, surrounded by her loving family. She was affectionately known as Maria.
Born on November 21, 1961, in Victorville, California, she was the beloved daughter of the late Joseph and Cristina Arguelles. A proud graduate of La Plata High School, Class of 1982, Maria continued her education by earning an Associate's Degree. She dedicated many years of service as a Federal Government employee with the U.S. Geological Survey, part of the Department of the Interior, before retiring.
Maria was active in her community and a dedicated member of both Weight Watchers and the Susan G. Komen Foundation, supporting breast cancer awareness. She had a passion for crafting, cooking Italian cuisine, and caring for her cherished Collie-Mix dog, Roma. A devout Catholic, Maria found strength and peace through her faith and was a faithful parishioner of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Bryantown.
She is survived by her loving brothers, Johnny M. Arguelles (Jennifer) and Salvatore F. Arguelles (Pamela); nephews Justin, Michael, Nicholas, Carter, Luca, and Bodie; and niece Penelope. Maria's kindness, devotion to her family, and warm spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Family Service will be held at a later date.
