Maria was a member of San Jose Catholic Church in Texico, New Mexico, Maria had a great passion for singing for her family and for the church. She was also an excellent cook. She blessed all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren individually every time they left from a visit to see her. She took part in, and led many Rosay services at various churches. She had a very keen memory, often reminding others of things they would have forgotten otherwise. Even though she was plagued by many illnesses, she never complained, but simply stated that God’s love and Grace were greater than any of her afflictions.
Those left to cherish her memory are the love of her life, Arturo Carrillo; five daughters, Luz Maria Carrillo of Phoenix, AZ, Virginia Carrillo of Farwell, TX, Rosavelia Carrillo of Phoenix, AZ, Leticia Alejandra Carrillo of Farwell, TX, Marta Patricia Carrillo of Clovis, NM; three sons, Jose Guadalupe Carrillo of Clovis, NM, Gustavo Carrillo of Phoenix, AZ, and Jesus Manuel Carrillo of Clovis, NM; thirty grandchildren and twenty-three great-grandchildren.
