Maria lived in Seguin, Texas all of her life. She met her husband, Juan Antonio Lopez in 1970 and they were married on February 1, 1972 and spent 30 crazy years filled with lots of love and laughter together. Maria was one of the most loving and compassionate persons. It brought her so much joy taking care of her family, especially her children and grandchildren. Maria gave love to so many, especially through her cooking. If you have ever been to her house then I am sure you have had some of the delicious dishes she cooked. Her heart was so big that everyone who met her loved her. To her family, she was our world, our rock, our whole heart and we will miss her forever until we meet again.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Martha M. Herrera and father, Juan Jose Herrera; husband, Juan Antonio Lopez Sr.; brothers, Juan Herrera, Enrique Herrera, Domingo Herrera, Roberto Herrera; sisters, Margarita Herrera and Anita Castillo and her favorite nephew, Roberto Herrera Jr.

Maria is further survived by numerous nieces, nephews and extended family and friends that she loved with her entire heart.
