Born in Puerto Rico and raised on the rhythms of island life, Maria S. has spent a lifetime building a story rooted in family, creativity, and good food — and she’s still adding to it today as a resident of The Seasons of Reno.
A Life Rooted in Family
Maria met her husband, Maurice, and the two married and shared a decades-long marriage. Together they raised three children, a family that has since grown to include five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. For Maria, that growing family is the part of her story she treasures most.

A Home Filled With Creativity
As a homemaker, Maria spent much of her life caring for her family, but she also made time to nurture her own creative side. Painting, cooking, sewing, and pottery have remained constants throughout her life, giving her a way to express herself outside the daily routine of running a household.
Her Secret to Longevity
When asked what’s kept her going all these years, Maria points to something far simpler than any wellness trend: an island-rooted life surrounded by family and good food.
