Maria Luisa Sandoval De Leal

Maria Luisa Sandoval De Leal, born on July 7, 1955, in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, departed this world on December 18, 2024, at her residence surrounded by her beloved family in Los Fresnos, Texas. She leaves behind a legacy woven with kindness, strength, and an unwavering dedication to her loved ones.

Maria Luisa was a cherished retired Home Health Provider, known for her gentle spirit and the exceptional care she provided. She poured her heart into nurturing not only those she served professionally but also her own family. A beautifully generous woman, Maria found joy in spending time with her loved ones, tending to her garden, and cooking delightful meals that brought everyone around the table. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she devoted herself to caring for them with a love that knew no bounds.

Maria Luisa's family, who will forever carry her memory within their hearts, includes her devoted husband, Rogelio Campos Leal. They shared a bond that transcended time, filled with mutual respect and profound love. Her mother Josefina Salazar de Sandoval.  Her enduring spirit will live on through her daughters, Laura (Rolando) Salazar and Brenda (Hugo) Leal, and her son, Rogelio (Rosa) Leal, Jr. Her cherished grandchildren, Dominic Leal, Eduardo Salazar, Sophia Casanova, Santiago Salazar, Nicolas Leal, Maximus Leal, and Aria Garcia, will forever treasure the moments spent with their beloved abuela.

Maria Luisa was not just a mother and grandmother but also a loving sister to Myrna and Lety, and to her brothers: Alfredo, Francisco, Alonso, Javier, and Alfonso. Her family was her life, and each connection reflected the kindness and unconditional love she offered freely.

She is predeceased by her sister, Irma Gloria Sandoval, and her father, Alonso Sandoval, whose memory she honored with her own life of compassion and strength. The loss of her granddaughter, Isabella Buentello-Leal, has left a deep imprint on the family, a reminder of the fragility and preciousness of life.
