María era una gran trabajadora que a veces tenía varios trabajos para asegurarse de que su familia estuviera atendida. Era una esposa devota, una madre amorosa y una hermana querida. A lo largo de su vida mantuvo una actitud optimista y nunca se quejó, independientemente de los desafíos que enfrentó. Su familia la recordará no sólo como el corazón de su hogar sino también como una cocinera extraordinaria, conocida por sus deliciosas comidas que unían a sus seres queridos. María disfrutó de merecidos viajes por carretera de regreso a México, donde valoró el tiempo que pasó con sus hermanas.

Le sobreviven su devoto esposo, Mike Contreras, y sus hijos: Mike Contreras, Jr., Eric Contreras y Jessica A. Contreras. Además, María deja atrás a sus queridos hermanos: Fidenco Vázquez, Jorge Vázquez, Gillermina Vázquez, Teresa Vázquez, Zenaida Vázquez, Francisca Vázquez, Ana María Vázquez, Ricarda Vázquez, Agracely Vázquez e Irma Janeth Vázquez.

A María le precedió en la muerte su hermano, Fermín Vázquez.
