It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Maria Serrano of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Maria departed from this world leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and compassion that touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Maria was more than just a mother, sister, friend, and neighbor—she was a force of nature. Known for her fiery spirit and vibrant personality, she was a beacon of warmth and resilience. Whether it was through her hearty laughter, strong-willed convictions, or the quiet comfort she offered in times of need, Maria had a remarkable way of making everyone feel seen, heard, and loved.
Born and raised in a close-knit community, Maria carried with her the values of hard work, loyalty, and service. She was a woman of deep empathy and unmatched generosity. No matter the situation, she always found a way to give—whether it was a home-cooked meal to someone in need, a listening ear, or words of encouragement during difficult times. She lived her life putting others before herself, never expecting anything in return.
Maria’s love for her family was boundless. She devoted her life to nurturing those around her, creating a home that was not only filled with warmth and laughter but also with strength and resilience. Her children, whom she cherished deeply, were the center of her world. Her love for them was a driving force in all she did, and her legacy will live on through their lives and the values she instilled in them.
To her friends, Maria was a confidante, a fighter, a woman of deep wisdom, and someone who never backed down when it came to standing up for what she believed in. Her absence leaves an unfillable void, but her spirit will continue to inspire and uplift everyone who was privileged to know her.
As we gather to honor Maria’s life and say our goodbyes, we are reminded of how much she meant to so many. This is a difficult time for our family, and as we work to lay her to rest with the dignity and love she so richly deserves, we humbly ask for your support. Contributions toward funeral and memorial expenses are deeply appreciated and will help alleviate the financial burden as we focus on celebrating the remarkable life Maria led.
We thank you for your prayers, your kindness, and your compassion during this time. Maria Serrano may be gone from our sight, but she will never be gone from our hearts.
May she rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing to us all.
