Marie Viola Velasquez
On Valentine’s Day, Marie Viola Velasquez, as the sun set on February 14, 2020, Sailed Home on a River of Love and Tears “How fitting is God’s Timing”. Marie was born in South Bend, WA on June 6, 1939 and graduated from “This Life”.
Marie loved caring for children, not just her own, but all children. Marie’s passion for caregiving led her to a career which spanned decades with KinderCare in Phoenix. To Marie’s extreme joy and delight, she worked in The Baby Room. Marie was a natural nurturer and loved all babies. Marie would say it was, “Her Best Job – Ever! In her later years at KinderCare, Marie had the good fortune of nurturing children through her cooking. She was always an excellent and wonderful cook! In her final days at the Hospice of The Valley – Thunderbird, Marie was surrounded by the love of her three sons, Joel “Joey”, James “Jimmy” (Tina), and Mark, her sister Patty, Melody “Mel”, her 9 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
God blessed us by allowing us to love and be loved by Marie.
RIP ALWAYS Mom!!!, A.K.A Nana, and “Old Woman.”
Your Eternal Loving family!!!
