Maria was so very kind to me. She made me feel so welcome when I moved to Winchester in 2005. We met at Linens and Things, but had the most fun at Michaels Arts and Crafts. We kept in touch through the years and I would visit her at King James Gallery her home away from home. She will be missed by so many. ❤️

Sending my love and deep sympathy for the family. She was such a wonderful person!. Kind and compassionate. She will be missed RIP
