Racine – Maria G. Morado, 74, fell into eternal slumber at her residence on Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Maria was born in Camargo, Tamaulipas, Mexico on May 22, 1936. She was the daughter of the late Miguel and Canuta (nee: Gracia) Zuniga, Jr., and has resided in Racine most of her life.
Maria was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and a friend to many. She would often put the needs of her loved ones above her own. She took great pride in providing a warm, inviting and loving home. She especially loved a house full of family and friends, and enjoyed their company and hearing their laughter fill her home. She was member of Cristo Rey Parish for many years, and loved to attend as often as she could.
Maria will be forever missed by her husband, Pedro Morado; her Daughter Alexis and husband Jose Luis Pineda whom she loved as a son; her son, Enrique (Emma) Cruz, Jr.; granddaughter, Melissa, grandsons; Enrique and Adam Cruz; great grandchildren; Joseph Cruz, and Natalia Cantu. She is further survived by her sister, Lucia Sanchez and niece, Esmeralda Sanchez; brother, Pedro (Rosa) Zuniga and family; niece San Juanita Ortega and family; great-niece Naomi Ortega and family; great-nephew Angel Ortega and daughter; all of the Ramirez family; sister-in-law, Rosalie Zuniga and family; and two very dear friends to the family Elena Velasquez, and Maria Isabel Bermudez and her two sons whom she considered her grandchildren and were always around her, Marco Munoz and Carlo Salcedo. She will be received in heaven by her brothers, Antonio and Gabriel Zuniga; and sister, Albina Ramirez.
