On January 14, 2026, the world lost a bright light with the passing of Maria Navarro of Indianapolis, Indiana. Born on June 5, 1945, Maria brought joy, laughter, and warmth to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

She was the beloved daughter of Benito and Teresa and the devoted wife of the love of her life, Jose. Together, they built a beautiful family and raised two wonderful children, Jimmy and Martha.

Maria was a proud and loving grandmother to her four cherished grandchildren—Bryana, Julia, Rosie, and Jackson. She treasured every moment spent with them, showering them with endless love, affection, and kindness.

Known for her contagious laughter and warm smile, Maria touched countless lives and will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Though she is no longer with us, her love and spirit will live on forever in the hearts of her family and friends.
