On November 8, 2023 our precious Maria "Luigi" Mendoza, age 77, was sent to the Lord where she joined her beloved husband William "Willie" Mendoza.

She is survived by her three wonderful children Christine [Ernie] Valencia, Cynthia Mendoza, William Jr. [Stasia] Mendoza, 10 grandchildren and 10 great-children. She is also survived by her siblings Virgina McKenna, Henry Lomeli, Norma McKenna, Gloria Cordova and Vera Aceves.

In addition to her loving husband William, Maria is preceded in death by her parents Henry and Isabel Lomeli.

She will be forever missed by her family and friends. Maria was truly an angel in disguise. Her deep spiritual love for God will continue on in her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

A private ceremony will be held at a later date in a private intimate setting with her family and loved ones.
