Maria Oralia or known as “Lala” was born on June 25, 1940 in Mission, Texas to Paz Sr. and Dolores (Temelloso) Gonzales. Maria was a lifelong resident of Tulia, where she attended local schools and dedicated many years of her life to serving her community. She worked at Dolly's Restaurants, where her culinary skills brought joy to countless patrons. Maria also provided housecleaning services for various families in Tulia, always with a smile and a warm heart.

In January 1968, Maria married the love of her life, Juan Cancio Huron, in Hale Center, Texas and together they nurtured a beautiful family. Maria’s infectious spirit and love for life were evident in everything she did. She had a zest for dancing that made her the life of every gathering, often punctuating her joy with her signature peace sign.

A woman of style, Maria took pride in her appearance and had a cherished collection of fashionable shoes. She was also a devoted Guadalupana and an active member of the Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit, where she found comfort and community.

Maria was a dedicated caregiver, providing love and support to her grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, who will forever remember her as a guiding light in their lives.
