Maria R.B.V. Vargas, born on May 26, 1953, entered eternal rest surrounded by the love of her family. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and faithful servant of God whose life was rooted in love, sacrifice, and unwavering faith.
Maria was married to her beloved husband, Rosauro Vargas, for 51 years. Their marriage was a testament to commitment, perseverance, and deep devotion, forming the foundation of a strong and loving family.
She was a proud and loving mother to three children: Rob Vargas, Vanessa Casale, and Vernon Vargas. Her children were her greatest joy, and she dedicated her life to nurturing, guiding, and supporting them through every season of life.
Maria was also a cherished grandmother to six grandchildren, each of whom brought immense happiness and purpose to her life. She took great pride in her role as “Lola,” offering unconditional love, wisdom, and warmth that will forever be remembered.
A devoted Catholic, Maria’s faith guided her daily life. She lived her beliefs through kindness, humility, prayer, and service to others. Her trust in God never wavered, even through life’s most difficult moments, and her faith was a source of strength and comfort to all who knew her.
Maria Rosa Blanquita Vital Vargas will be remembered for her gentle spirit, strong values, and boundless love for her family. Her legacy lives on through the lives she touched and the faith and love she instilled in those closest to her.
She will be deeply missed and forever held in our hearts.
