Maria Gene was a dedicated loving daughter, sister, aunt and friend who made an enduring impact on all who knew her. A faithful Christian touched the lives of many children as she was part of St. Anthony’s Religious Education program for many years. It was here that she wanted to learn more about the written word and began to hold a personal a deeper understanding and carried a spiritual relationship with our Lord, she joining a couple of Bible study groups as part of New Life Church. She enjoyed being present at Bible study, listening to Christian music, and sharing testimonies with anyone who would listen, especially her family. Her faith was centered in her life and her favorite scripture which she often shared with mom, (Psalm 91, Joshua 1, and John 14) as they comforted each other.

Maria Gene had a deep love for family, cherished every opportunity to share special moments with her loved ones.
