Maria Delrosario Ybarra; 74 of Pontiac, MI, passed away on July 30, 2020 at her home after a long illness.

Maria was born on August 29, 1945 in McAllen, Texas to the late Marcelo and Isabel Hernandez.

In her life, Maria worked at Sears for 10 years, before she became a stay at-home mom/wife. One of her favorite hobbies was to attend bingo nights. Maria enjoyed going to Tejano dances to watch her husband perform and dance the night away with family and friends. When she felt lucky, she traveled to one of her favorite places, Las Vegas, NV. Maria also enjoyed traveling to visit family and friends, such places as Texas and California.  Maria fought such an ugly disease (Dementia) till the end and will be missed by many.
