Maria brought light to everyone around her. She had a laugh so contagious and unforgettable. She loved animals and everything beauty.

She truly loved spending time with family and laughing with friends. She spent majority of her life with her high school sweethearts, late Scott Thibodeau. They were the true definition of hard work and unconditional love.

Maria loved country music, she’d attend country music concerts with her sister Sharon. She loved the old and the new music.

She also loved everything sweet. She enjoyed when Scott would make her sweets from scratch just for her enjoying.

She was truly the sunshine on a cloudy day to everyone she came into contact with.
