Maria was born in Slovenia January 18, 1943. In 1964 she immigrated to Canada and lived in Toronto to be near her oldest brother Joe. Several years later she moved to Brooks where she met Charlie, the love of her life. They were married in 1981 and moved to Taber in 1997. They were happily married until she lost her lengthy battle with cancer.
Maria worked several years for the Brooks School District until her retirement. She loved her church life and her friends were very important to her but above all she cherished her family. She enjoyed gardening, swimming, camping and playing tile rummy.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Maria’s name may be made directly to the Taber and District Hospital Foundation, 4326 - 50 Avenue, Taber, Alberta T1G 1N9.
The family would like to give special thanks to the doctors and nurses at the Taber Hospital for their compassion and care. Her warm embraces and the love she extended to all will be deeply missed.
