Belia "Maita" Perez had a gift of reaching people in a deep and positive way. She truly lived life to the fullest, from the simple pleasures of crafting, making tamales, baking galletitas, traveling, attending family sporting events, and playing at "las maquinitas." Her shared life stories, teachings, and ability to find true happiness in daily activities will forever be cherished. Maita was a pure example that age did not matter as she would always say "no importan los años, tengo 15 en el corazón." She will forever be admired as the life of the party, as her personality was contagious to everyone she encountered. Her greatest joys were her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Maita will be deeply missed and forever be celebrated as the matriarch of her family.
