To know her is to love her; she embraced and accepted everyone as she showered her family and friends with unconditional love at all times. She was known for her loving, caring personality and the love of her Puerto Rican culture! At home she was in the kitchen cooking traditional meals after work and on the weekends. You could smell the beans everyone loved as soon as you walked in the door, and even if you just ate, she'd tell you to go eat! At family parties she would be found doing what she loved to do best: just dancing the night away. Oh, how she loved her salsa music and dancing! During the baseball season, win or lose, "Let's go Mets!" is what you'd hear her shouting because she's their #1 fan! Above all, Maria was a devout Catholic, a woman of faith who honored God at all times. She attended mass at St. Martin of Tours Roman Catholic Church for many years. Preceding her in death are beloved sons Pedro Jose and Juan Ramos and grandson Carlos Ortiz and granddaughters Katherine and Jacquelyn Ramos.
