Maria Guerrero, 75, of Lovelock, Nevada, passed away at her home of natural causes on September 7th, 2024. She was born in Zapotitlán, Mexico to Jose and Graciela Aries. She moved to Lovelock in 1964, where she quickly became a pillar of the community, raising a family, being an active member at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, and opening and operating La Casita restaurant (1991-2014). Cooking was a major passion in her life and was an expression of love, not only for her family but all the people that walked though her door looking for a warm meal. In her free time, she enjoyed crocheting, playing cards, and sharing funny stories. She is survived by her beloved husband Jorge, three children Marco, Jorge, and Liza, as well as five grandchildren, Marco, Madison, Hailey, Howard, and Rylie. A rosery service will be held at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church on Friday September 13th at 5pm in Lovelock NV.
