When I started worked at the Neighborhood Resource Center, Ms Rita was the face, like the Momma of the place. When she left, you took her place and the welcoming Momma/Auntie of the place. Always willing to help or feed others. You asked that I look to help others and families. I will continue and remember to do so in yours and Momma Rita's name so your spirit will live on at that location. I will also look out for your family and always answer the phone. Love You Ms Maria always

Maria, your departure hits us hard. God gave us your presence and you became the angel without wings who lived and walked with us. The angel who, without expecting anything in return, spread her joy and optimism, gave us a smile at the right moment, gave us her hand when we needed it, knew how to listen to us even when there were no words, made us dance, and in dancing we learned how important it is to enjoy time with friends and be thankful for life. I am sure that God received you with open arms and gave you the wings that already had your name on them.
I know that from heaven, you will not take your eyes off each of your loved ones as well as you did here. Our prayers for you "Bellezita" and for your dear family so that God grants them with strength. We will miss you dearly. Rest in peace.

For many years, as an ESOL Assessment Teacher I sometimes worked with Maria at our Lake Anne Welcome Center. She was the heart and soul of the office and would go out of her way to advocate for students. On her own time, she would go into the Herndon community and encourage people to register for school. Maria always had treats to share, and she would tell us stories about her traveling adventures and the great deals she got. I wish I had half the energy and personality of Maria. :)

We thought we’d not have to say goodbye to our dear friend Maria. God decided He wanted her by His side in Heaven. Early in the morning she silently, peacefully slipped away.
Maria was an angel in our midst. I treasure the time I had with her and all the memories. I know we’ll meet again in Heaven but in the meantime will miss her.

“Bellezita” was the sweetest nickname that María would use with everyone she encountered. However, we all knew that she was THE “Bellezita”.
Maria, you left us beautiful memories and many great teachings. Now, after all the diligent and dedicated work you demonstrated in every aspect of your life, it is time for you to rest.
We already miss you, but we know that we will see you again, in a much better place.
Rest In Peace, my dear friend.

Dear Maria,
Thank you for your beautiful generosity and joyful spirit. I learned so much about life from simply being in your presence.

Dear Maria,
You are forever in my heart . Until we meet again, I will never forget you.Thank you for the memories we shared,
so glad you were in my life as a team leader and a friend.
Thank you for every advice and every memory, thank you for all birthday celebrations that you made it happen in the middle of every summer registration peak season, you made me feel so special. To let go takes love. I love you, and I know you love me too.
Romans 14:8, ESV: For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
Love you Maria,
Belsam Tubia

I found this photo of the ESOL Assessment and Student Registration teams at Reston/Lake Anne on St. Patrick's Day 2019. Maria was always so bubbly and full of fun. She did love a celebration and wanted others to share in her joy. She will live on in the memories of those whose lives she touched. She was a very special lady and has a big place in my heart. Rest in peace, dear Maria.

Maria was a gentle, funny, lively friend and colleague, dedicated to the families and individuals she served in several work capacities. She left the world a better place by giving assistance and hope to so many. I 100% agree that, while we all miss her, it was not the quantity of days that she lived with us; rather, it was the quality of each of those days and how much she put into her family, friendships, colleagues, and those she served. Salud, Maria!

Dear Maria, you will be deeply missed! You were my co-worker, my mentor, and my dear friend! You always had a kind heart and approach to every situation in life! I will treasure so many sweet memories! Even in your last days when I could not find enough words to show my love and gratitude for how much you blessed my life, you manage to give me words of encouragement, comfort and kindness! That is the type of amazing lady you have always been. “Bellezita”, thank you for always being there! I am the person I am today in a big way because of you! My husband Donnie and I want to express our sincere and deepest condolences to Ted, Jonathan, Jeffrey. your dear Mom, Sisters and extended family! Lupita and Donnie Bradfield

We wish we would have been able to say good bye to you. We wish that We would have made more time for you. Your smile will be one that We will never forget and also your kind words. You believed in us and because of your motivation We are together!!
We pray all the time for your family, children and friends.
