She worked for almost 30 years until her health made her take early retirement; it was not something she was ready for. She filled her days with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she cherished with all her heart. Also, small projects around the house, tinkering with this and that, made her happy. Maria was always on the go despite her physical limitations. She had a big heart and will be greatly missed by her family.
Maria is survived by her children: Tina (Robert) Lewis and Ernest (Ladawn) Quire, all of Brigham City, Utah; eight grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and four brothers and four sisters.
She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, one sister, one grandson, and one granddaughter.
Funeral services will be held Thursday, Feb. 20, at 1 p.m. at St Henry’s Catholic Church, 380 S. 200 East, Brigham City.
Family and friends may visit with the family Wednesday, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Myers Mortuary Chapel, 205 S. 100 East, Brigham City. Rosary services will follow at 7 p.m.
