Maria Guadalupe Hale

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Maria Guadalupe Hale, a loving mother, sister, and friend, who departed this life on December 27, 2025, at the age of 71. Born on August 6, 1954, Maria's life was a testament to love, creativity, and unwavering dedication to her family. 

Maria was preceded in death by her cherished husband, Richard David Hale, her beloved parents: Felipe Sanchez Sr. and Victoria Sanchez; and her devoted sisters: Veronica Viera and Maria Adela Sanchez Cruz. 

Maria's heart was always warmed by her numerous cats and dogs, whose lives she enriched through her unwavering affection. She relished the beauty of art and painting, often expressing her vibrant spirit through her craft. Her love for gardening flourished in the array of flowers and plants she tended, where she found great joy amidst the flutter of dragonflies. Maria believed that the well-being of her children and grandchildren was paramount, dedicating her time and energy to ensure their happiness and success. 

The bond she shared with her sister Veronica was especially profound, serving as a source of strength and inspiration throughout her life. Her friendships throughout the years with Liz Stephens, Maria Moreno, and Sonia Medina will forever be cherished. 

She is survived by her sons, James Hale and Joshua Hale; daughters-in-law, Jane and Annalee Hale; her grandchildren, Michael James Hale and Adelynn Nicole Hale, and her brother: Felipe Sanchez Jr.

The family will be receiving condolences on Monday evening, January 5, 2025 from 5 to 9 p.m. at Joe Jackson North Funeral Chapels & Cremation Services, 1410 Jacaman Rd.; where a Vigil for the Deceased and Rosary will commence at 7 p.m.
