She was a gentle and humble woman who was loved by many. Mari is survived by her four children: Ivonne, Ivan, Iram, and Ivette. She will be greatly missed. There will be a funeral at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton on Wednesday September 13th at 11:00am. A rosary will be prayed before the service staring at 10:30am.
