Maria Dolores Del Valle

With profound sorrow and deep gratitude for her life, we announce the peaceful passing of Maria Dolores Del Valle, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend.

Maria was preceded in death by her loving husband Moises Del Valle and dear son Jose Manuel Del Valle. She leaves behind her daughters Lucy and Maria. She was the cherished sister of Carmen Julia and Maria de Los Angeles.

She was a proud grandmother to Elizabeth (Juan), Jorge Jr. (Star), Ramon (Brittany), Angel, Rebecca (Eric), Donny (Preet and mother-in-law Jasvir). Her legacy lives on through her great-grandchildren, including  Aiyanna, Ramon Jr., Lillyana, Josiah, Khalian, Senaiyah, Jezdiehl, Jehzliam, Yezliaris, Jaden, Alan, Leila, Alani, Ameena, and Great Great grandson Mateo. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who were touched by her grace and strength.

Maria was a proud graduate of Quinsigamond College in Worcester, Massachusetts, where she studied early childhood education. She began her career at Clark Street School in Worcester and later served the community as a passionate early childhood educator at La Causa in Wisconsin. Her love for children extended into her role as a licensed foster parent, where she nurtured and guided young lives.

She dedicated her life not only to education but also to her family. A woman of unwavering faith, a lifelong learner, and one with both domestic and non-traditional talents, Maria balanced a witty personality with a stern but loving presence. You always knew where you stood with Maria—and that you were loved.

We were truly blessed to have had her unconditional love and support throughout the years. She touched countless lives, and her memory will continue to inspire all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, memorials appreciated to Aurora Zilber Family Hospice.
