Porterville, California
It is with profound sorrow that we share the unexpected passing of María Adriana Ponce on May 5 in Porterville, California. Her departure has left an indescribable void in the lives of all who knew and loved her. María Adriana was more than a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend—she was the vibrant heart of her family, a pillar of strength, and a beacon of joy to those around her.
María Adriana was known for her unwavering work ethic and her joyful, spirited presence. Whether she was tending to her home, cooking a delicious meal, or spending time with her family, she did everything with immense love and dedication. Her laughter filled every room she entered, and her warm hugs had a way of making everything feel okay. She was truly the kind of person whose presence lit up lives.
Of all her many roles, perhaps the one she cherished most was being a grandmother to nine beautiful grandchildren. She poured her heart into each of them, offering boundless love, wisdom, and stories they will carry with them forever. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she, theirs. Her legacy lives on in their smiles, their laughter, and the memories they will hold close for the rest of their lives.
Her unexpected passing has left her family in a moment of both grief and logistical need. As they navigate this heart-wrenching time, they are also working to arrange a proper and dignified farewell for the woman who gave them so much. A fundraising effort is currently underway to help cover the costs of her funeral and memorial services. Any contributions, no matter how small, would be received with deep gratitude by the family as they honor María Adriana’s life and memory.
More than anything, the family asks for your prayers, love, and support during this incredibly difficult time. Please keep María Adriana Ponce and her loved ones in your thoughts, and join us in celebrating the life of a woman who gave so much to so many.
May she rest in peace, and may her spirit continue to guide and comfort those who were blessed to know her.
