Maria was born fourth of five children in Buenos Aries, Argentina to Magdalena and Santiago Paries. 'Celi' would then wait 29 years for Diego Lloret to make his way from his home in Spain to Bahia Blanca where they met, courted and finally married. Together they fulfilled their dream of living in the USA giving their children the gift of freedom and opportunity this country affords for a better life. They eventually moved to Los Angeles where they found the LDS Church, converted and continued their adventure by moving to Utah, their final home.
Maria never returned to Argentina, but did accompany Diego in visiting his hometown in Spain after nearly 40 years. Maria would start a new chapter in her life at the age of 59 returning from Spain to Utah after an accident that would leave her in a wheelchair for the next 19 years of her life. Maria left her mark on this earth as an example of strength and courage to everyone who knew her. Maria's faith in the gospel was never shaken even through all her trials and hardships. She firmly believed in the resurrection, knowing that one day she would be made whole again. Her condition did not stop her from helping to raise her grandchildren who loved sitting on her lap or getting rides on her wheelchair. She was a very special mother, grandmother and great grandmother who celebrated 50 years of marriage with Diego. They were sealed in the Los Angeles LDS Temple Oct. 20, 1973. Her passing brings much sadness and sorrow to those who know and love her, but there is a sense of joy in knowing she is no longer trapped in her body.
Her great legacy does not end here; she temporarily leaves behind her adoring husband Diego. Children, Liliana (Lance) Bunker, David (Darla), and Miguel. Grandchildren Jason, Brandon, Lark, Justin, Serene, Jaime and Great-Grandchildren Miyah, Jenessa, Noelle, and Jake Diego. Sisters Pili Villar and Maria Luisa Gutierrez, Brother Guillermo (Socorro) Paries and many friends and extended family. Preceded by her parents and brother, Enrique (Argentina) Paries.
Viewing Friday Sept. 14, 6-8 p.m., Larkin Sunset Gardens Mortuary, 1950 E. 10600 So. Services Saturday 11 a.m. at the LDS Chapel on 12300 So. Pine Ridge Road (1190 E.) with viewing one hour prior.
