Maria M. “Sadie” Monteiro, 94, of Marion, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Wednesday, February 6. She was the wife of the late Manuel D. Monteiro, Sr.

Maria was born in Havana, Cuba, but Marion is where she has called home since the early 1950s. What mattered most to Maria was her family, friends and her community. Despite the many hats she wore, it was her role as a mother that mattered most to her.
