She was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Martin Sanchez, Jr.; and a sister, Lorenza Maestas.

She is survived by her husband, Johnny Gallegos of Earth; two daughters, Lucy Ruiz and husband Michael of Dimmitt and Beatrice Moreno of Earth; two brothers, John Sanchez of Amarillo and Max Sanchez and wife Patsy of Hereford; five sisters, Julia Martinez of Lubbock, Paula Gonzales and Rita Flores, both of Earth, Nati Ochoa of Plainview, and Libby Gonzales of Karnes City; six grandchildren; and 18 great-grandchildren.

The family would like to extend their thanks to Maria's sister, Rita Flores, for being her caregiver and to Calvert Home Health & Hospice for the great care given.
