Maria Guadalupe Molina, 55, died Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024, in Santa Fe, N.M.
She was born Nov. 17, 1968 to Josefina and Daniel Vizcaino.
She was never scared to take on something new and did everything with honesty and love. She started every conversation with a joke and if you didn’t know her, you would think she was serious. After laughing and continuing her conversation, more jokes would come and eventually it would end with her contagious laugh.
She was always laughing, dancing, or singing and if Selena or Jenni Rivera came on, it would turn into her party.
She was known for her incredible patience, and she led a life that showed meaningful acts of love and service. Most importantly, she kept God front and center. The most selfless person who served everyone else and kept herself at the end of the line, as God intended it to be.
