On February 7, 2026, Ana Maria Paniagua tragically passed away as the result of a vehicle accident while she was on her way home. Alongside her daughter, JoeAna, Ana Maria had stopped to assist a person in need, concerned for that individual’s safety. True to who she was, Ana Maria did not hesitate to help someone in need. Tragically, during this act of kindness, an accident occurred involving the same vehicle they were attempting to assist.

Ana Maria was known for always putting others first and never asking for support herself. Serving others in moments of need was simply who she was. This fundraiser has been created to help cover funeral and memorial expenses and to support her family during this incredibly difficult and unexpected time.

She is survived by her loving husband, Joe Paniagua Jr., her daughter JoeAna, her son Anthony, and many other family members and friends who loved her deeply. Any donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your compassion and support.
