Maria began sewing at the age of 10 and was an expert seamstress. She had many clients and took pride in the many outfits she made. She worked in Dress Boutiques, Bridal Salons and retired from Sklar Peppler Furniture Company.
Maria was a kind, generous and thoughtful woman. She loved spoiling her grandchildren, neighbourhood kids and all the children she knew with candy, chocolate, cookies and their favourite foods.
