Maria De La Luz Almeida, age 87, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, September 28, 2024. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother and aunt; and will be greatly missed. Maria is preceded in death by her parents; Julia Corral De Olivas and Jose De La Luz Olivas; her loving husband; Hipolito Almeida and sister; Maria Micaela Olmos. She is survived by her dearest daughter; Monica Almeida; her sister; Maria Agueda Olivas; as well as several nieces and nephews. She is also survived by many extended family and friends to cherish and honor her memory.
Maria was a lifelong member of St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church where she spent countless hours serving God and her community, her life’s calling. Maria’s small group, Pequeña Comunidades de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe was most special to her. Maria had a true love for cooking and feeding people. Whether it was for the annual Saints Peter and Paul Kermes or making dozens of gorditas and empanadas for her family and friends, she loved and nurtured us through her food.
