Maria 'Tommie' Maza

Our beloved Tommie will forever be missed, always remembered. Her contagious laugh still echos in our hearts and we can't help but to smile when we hear it. We are all so fortunate to have had such a pure soul among us. Tommie taught us that it's okay to laugh at ourselves, it's okay to befriend a stranger, and to dance like there's no tomorrow. She taught us to love unconditionally and to forgive graciously. Her most valuable lesson was to pursue happiness. Her free spirited and compassionate presence will always bring light when it's dark.

Tommie loved lavishly, she was at one in the ocean or desert. She adored animals and has a slew of friends. Tommie Lived for her family and our hearts are hurting without her. We have truly lost our one in a million.

She was so stoic and brave in her final years illustrating true grit. Remember her young and vibrant, remember her laugh, her devious smirk and unforgettable eye roll.

She was born and raised in a small town atmosphere before building her life in California. Please welcome her back to her final resting place, Corpus Christi Texas.
