Maria P. Romo
10/26/1981 – 10/24/2025
Maria P. Romo, de 43 años, partió a su descanso eterno el 24 de octubre del 2025 en Houston, TX. María nació el 26 de octubre de 1981. La sobreviven su esposo (Reynaldo Sánchez), sus hijos (Debra Ally, Emme Marie y Reynaldo Mateo), su mamá (Debra H. Rodriguez), sus hermanas (Raquel M. Robelo y Zenaida Gonzalez) y muchos tíos, tias, sobrinos, sobrinas, primos, primas y amistades que la recordarán con mucho cariño. Su amor por su familia era inquebrantable, ya que ella hacía hasta lo impossible por todos, en especial por sus hijos. Conocida como “Babe”, “jefa”, “tía” y “sister”, María era muy trabajadora, alegre y con un corazón inmenso. Ella siempre encontraba lo bueno en cada situación. Además de su familia, su pasión era viajar. Llevar a sus hijos a conocer nuevos estados, países y experimentar diferentes culturas era su segundo motivo para todo lo que hacía. Esas memorias de los viajes estarán grabadas en las vidas de sus hijos por siempre. Y además en los recuerditos que Maria cariñosamente traía de regreso para sus seres queridos. María va a ser recordada por su gran corazón, por su sonrisa, por sus chistes y por su calidad humana. Aunque lamentablemente ya no este físicamente será recordada por siempre.
Juan 11:25-26:
Le dijo Jesús: Yo soy la resurrección y la vida; el que cree en mí, aunque esté muerto, vivirá. Y todo aquel que vive y cree en mí, no morirá eternamente.”

We worked together for many years at Wetmore/RRD and she and I traded many good natured barbs with each other. Never could understand why she was such a big Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
Praying for her kids and family. Taken from us way too soon.

Maria,
What a sweet sweet spirit. We worked together in Houston. She was smart, great at her job and always willing to assist. A very positive spirit. Loved her entire family and always thinking of others. I know she will be missed by every life she touched. Praying for family. May the Lord be with her children with comfort and direction. Sometimes we just do not understand why God allows some things to happen. May God be with all of the family.
Our hearts are broken , we will miss our sweet and loving niece.Resting now with our Lord Jesus Christ.. Her free living spirit full of life with joy, happiness and most of all love .. the memories we shared will forever be in our hearts. She treasured her children with an unconditional love may that love comfort them and send peace to their hearts in this difficult time. We continue to pray for the family.
Love aunt sylvia and uncle Celaya 🙏🥰
I am deeply saddened by the passing of my beloved cousin. We grew up side-by-side, sharing memories, laughter, and so many of life’s firsts. She was more than family she was like a sister, an adventurer, and a bright spirit whose love for the world took her to places most of us only dreamed of. I will always cherish the stories of her travels, the joy she found in discovering the beauty of life, her devotion and love for her children.
Her time here was far too short, but she filled every moment with purpose, curiosity, and heart. Though she is gone, her courage, kindness, and sense of wonder will live on in everyone who was lucky enough to know her.
I will miss her dearly her laugh, her light, and the comfort of knowing she was only a call away. May her memory forever be a blessing, and may we carry her spirit with us as we navigate the world she loved so much.
Romo You will always be in our hearts. Miss you big cuz!!
I am deeply saddened by the passing of my beloved cousin. We grew up side-by-side, sharing memories, laughter, and so many of life’s firsts. She was more than family she was like my sister and friend, an adventurer, and a bright spirit whose love for the world took her to places most of us only dreamed of. I will always cherish the stories of her travels, the sparkle in her eyes when she spoke about how she was able to bring her children, and the joy she found in discovering the beauty of life.

I will miss her dearly, her laugh, her light, and the comfort of knowing she was only a call, text, or snap away. May her memory forever be a blessing, and may we carry her spirit with us as we navigate the world she loved so much.
Rest in peace, dear cousin. You will always be in our hearts Romo. Love Lil Sylvia

Maria, my heart aches, my dear friend. From our childhood days to now, you’ve been such a beautiful part of my life — full of faith, laughter, and love. I’m forever grateful for the memories we shared and the sisterhood that will never fade. Your light continues to shine through your beautiful children, especially my precious goddaughter, who will always be surrounded by love. You were the most fearless woman I ever met. Road-trips, flying across countries and going on many adventures. Your laugh was contagious always full of positive vibes. Because you had a way with people and you meant business. I loved Your sarcasm, your low blows, your idgaf attitude. Eras una Chingona! I’ll remember you forever and ever ❤️ te quiero mucho.
My heart is broken over the passing of my dearest friend, Maria. You were more than a friend to me, you were a sister. Your kindness, warmth, generosity, laughter, and beautiful spirit touched everyone who knew you, and the love you gave so freely will stay with me forever. You were a remarkable mother to your 3 beautiful children, you traveled the world with them and that will be forever in their memories, they were your everything, you gave them that unconditional love. I’m so grateful for the time we had together and the love you brought into my life. Your memory will live on through the love you shared and the lives you brighten. There will never be another like you, and I will cherish the memories and moments we shared for the rest of my life. RIP My Angel I love you and will forever be missed ❤️😇
My condolences to all the family sending Prayers
Maria was like my little sister. My friend and family Little Romo. She is missed everyday. So many memories. Like our yearly bet on who would have the best record (Steelers or Texans). Almost 20 years of smiles and laughs and a nice disagreement sometimes because she was never wrong.
Praying for the three little ones and family. Taken from us way too soon.
