Maria Esperanza Munoz, born on November 2, 1953, in El Salvador, passed away peacefully on June 7, 2025, in Anaheim, surrounded by her beloved family. A woman of indomitable spirit and profound love, Maria was the glue to her family, the core of it all. Her life embodied strength through faith, built firmly on the foundation of Christ. She was known for her loving, caring, and selfless nature—a beacon of light in the lives of those who were fortunate enough to know her.
Maria dedicated her life to her family, supported by the unwavering love of her husband, Oscar. Together, they raised five children: Iris, Cynthia, Sara, Oscar, and Brenda—each of whom carries a piece of her heart. Her proudest accomplishments were her twelve grandchildren, who brought her boundless joy and whose laughter filled her home with warmth.
Among her many interests, Maria found great joy in her church community, where she sang with a voice that was as uplifting as her spirit. Cooking, hiking, and nurturing her family were passions she cherished deeply, sharing her love through meals and adventures, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Maria's presence in the world will be deeply missed, yet her legacy of love and kindness will continue to inspire all who were touched by her life. The family she nurtured will carry forward her values and the strength she instilled in them. As they gather to honor her memory, they will hold onto the profound impact Maria had on their lives—a love that persisted until the very end.
