Maria del Carmen Perez Fontaiña of Wayne died peacefully on Wednesday, October 2, 2013 with her loving family gathered at her bedside. She was 87 years old.
Maria was born in Spain and grew up in Riveira La Coruna, on the Atlantic coast. She raised her children there until 1966 when they all moved to Fairview, NJ. Maria’s father had moved to America years earlier and she joined him here. She later lived in Lyndhurst before settling in Wayne in 1989.
Maria was devoted to her family and there was nothing more wonderful to her than grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was kind and lovable; simply the best, and forgiving to a fault. Without a doubt, her lifelong dedication to the Catholic Church played a large role in defining who she was, and her faith was her guiding light. She was a member for Our Lady of Consolation for many years while living in Wayne.
Cooking was also a passion for Maria. Homemade Rosca, sweetbread at Easter time, and her empanada’s were a huge favorite of the family. She made everything with love, which somehow made it all taste that much better. Her family and friends will surely miss her wonderful meals and holiday dinners.
Maria is survived by her daughter; Maria C. Ventoso and her husband Jose of Wayne, her son; Agustin A. Muniz and his wife Maria of Plantation, FL, four grandchildren; Angela Maria Muniz-Rutherford and her husband Christopher of Cummins, GA, Francisco J. Muniz and his wife Kelli of Sunrise, FL, Cristina Maria Ventoso of Bellville, NJ and Ana Maria Ventoso of Verona, NJ, two great-grandchildren; Christopher Francis Rutherford and Tristan Francis Muniz, and one sister; Oliva Fernandez and her husband Andres of Paramus, NJ. She was predeceased by her brother Antonio Perez, Jr.
