Terri Ann Maldonado-Cavazos

With deep sorrow, I share the news of the unexpected passing of my mother-in-law, Terri Ann, due to a sudden brain aneurysm on 12/11.

This GoFundMe is dedicated to supporting the Maldonado/Cavazos family in shouldering the unforeseen funeral expenses and tying up the loose ends left in the wake of this tragedy. Your donation or heartfelt condolences are profoundly appreciated during this difficult time.

— From her son, Dominic —

She never said no, often imposing her help and determination to support everyone. Terri Ann’s selflessness and ability to lift others is unparalleled. Her genuine kindness was unfiltered and unwavering to anyone close. If you knew Terri Ann, then you know what ferocious motivation looks like, you know what true beauty is, as there was no slowing down her actions of love.

She grew up the youngest in La Union, New Mexico w her mom, dad, three siblings and plenty of family visitors. From country girl to city woman Terri Ann had range. She would attend business meetings in the most gallant power suits; then lift 90lbs hay bales in jeans later that night. She enjoyed rock music at concerts but sang loudest Sunday mornings at church.

Her help had no boundaries and most impressively taught those around her by what she did, not what she said. She was extremely educated, she was a woman of action, a true leader and queen of the southwest. We pray everything good inside her has brushed off enough to facilitate the warmth she created in the world. She guides her only son from the sky along with her mom; they tidy up heaven and God probably has to tell them to slow down once in a while.

We all love you so so very much Terri Ann Maldonado. Thanks for everything, you can rest now.
