 San Diego, Texas: Maria Oralia Salinas 72 years of age passed away on August 19, 2019 in a Corpus Christi Hospital surrounded by her family.
It was her way or the highway, she didn’t take anything from anybody and her head strong spirit will always remind us who was in charge. Our beautiful matriarch had the answers to everything, an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. Her strength and poise were well-known and respected by all. Maria Oralia Salinas, retired as a Financial Director with San Diego Independent School District after 35 years of service. She spent time with all her grandchildren. She returned to work as an election deputy for Duval County for 14 years. In her spare time she watched her Hallmark movies spent time with her family and always loved a trip to Golden Corral.

She was a member of the Duval County Rotary Club. Above all hats, the best she wore was being a loving and devoted daughter, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and a friend to all.

It hit me last night; that your in Heaven tia Mary. Yes, I cried because you’ll be missed by many 😢 ❤️ You were always the strong & feisty one. I was in somewhat of a shock when I was told only Sat afternoon that you were ill 🕯 🌹 I didn’t hesitate to drive up and take your sister (my mom) Gloria Hall & Liz to see you, to pray for you and visit you. I’m so glad that I did. You are now in our future, not in our past. When we ache to see you, we’ll just look at your children, grand children and great grandchildren because we will see you in them. I love you very much tia. We’ll all be together celebrating in Heaven one day. What A Family Reunion that will be 🕊👼

Every death never feels real, but I can say aunt Mary and her little house will always have a place in my heart. Always offering a cookie or ice cream to me as a little kid. She was kind, gave great hugs. Now she can look down and see us living the life she wanted for us. We will miss you aunt Mary
