Maria Munive
September 8, 1951 – March 20, 2025
With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to Maria Munive, a woman who lived life on her own terms and filled every room with warmth, laughter, and love. Born on September 8, 1951, in Iguala, Mexico, Maria took a leap of faith, immigrating to the United States and building a life filled with adventure, resilience, and deep connections.
Maria met the love of her life, Cesar, in New York City in the 1970s, and together they created a beautiful family. After his passing, she faced her grief with incredible strength, coming out even stronger and proving time and again that nothing could keep her down. She was fearless in the way she lived, and she passed that strength on to her children.
More than anything, Maria loved her family, especially her grandchildren. She lived to spoil them, celebrate them, and make them feel like the most special people in the world.
Maria was also the best kind of friend…the one who would give you the shirt off her back, the one who showed up when you needed her, the one who made every moment brighter just by being there. She loved to travel. Whether she was exploring a new city or soaking in the ocean breeze, she embraced every adventure with open arms.
She is survived by her son Jason, daughter-in-law Sarah, and granddaughter Isabella; daughter Raquel, son-in-law Steve, and grandsons Elijah, Benjamin, and Isaac; and daughter Michelle and son-in-law Arthur. Her fearless spirit, boundless love, and infectious energy will live on in all who were lucky enough to know her.
Maria’s wake will be held on Friday, March 28, from 5:00–8:00 PM at John Krtil Funeral Home, 1297 1st Ave, Manhattan. A funeral mass will take place on Saturday, March 29, at 10:00 AM at The Church of St. Monica, 413 East 79th Street, Manhattan.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her honor to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
We’ll miss you every day, Mama, but we know you’re off on your greatest adventure yet.
