It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Maria Santiani, the daughter of the late Samuel Vasquez and Paulina Maguiña, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Born on January 20, 1958, Maria celebrated her 67th birthday surrounded by loved ones before passing away later that day, January 20, 2025. Maria's life was a tapestry of love, kindness, and unwavering strength. Known for her radiant smile and compassionate nature, Maria touched the lives of everyone she met. Her warmth and generosity knew no bounds, always putting the needs of others before her own.
Maria's dedication to her family was unmatched. As a devoted wife, she shared a deep and loving partnership with her husband, Walter, for 43 years. Their marriage was a testament to enduring love, mutual respect, and unwavering support. Together, they built a home filled with laughter, love, and countless cherished memories.
She is survived by her loving children, who were the pride and joy of her life. Her nurturing spirit and gentle guidance shaped the lives of her grandchildren, instilling in them the values she held dear. She was a source of endless support and wisdom, offering a listening ear and comforting words whenever they were needed.
As we bid farewell to Maria, we take solace in the beautiful memories she leaves behind. Her legacy of love, kindness, and compassion will forever be etched in our hearts. Though she is no longer with us in person, her spirit will continue to inspire and guide us.
