Loving mother, grandmother, wife, and friend,

Maria Eugenia Cassidy, blessed this world and more people in her life than she could possibly imagine. She was born on March 31, 1943 in Quito, Ecuador and emigrated to the United States of America in 1964 at only 21 years old. Through her bravery and courage, Maria built a beautiful life for herself and her family.

Her advice to others has always been to "always try to do what's best for the people around you" and "try to achieve as much as you can." Maria will always be remembered for her kind and generous heart, her love for animals and nature, her talents in cooking and gardening, and her belief that anything and everything is possible.
