Maria enjoyed cooking, listening to music, and working in her flowers. She was loved by many and will be deeply missed. Maria was preceded in death by Father, Konstantious “Gus” Theodorakis.

Maria is and will always be my lifetime friend. She brought so much joy to me and although we lived miles apart, it was like there was no distance. I heard her sorrow and her happiness through good times and bad and she NEVER complained or lost hope or faith. I miss her every day! I know she is in the good Lords hands and is pain free. She will be my forever friend and I’ll see her on the other side. My deepest condolences and love to Dale, Amber (Ryan), Timmy (Allie) and Yia Yia and the rest of her extended family and friends.
