When she moved to Canada, she started as a dishwasher at the Princess Café. In the 60’s, she owned a restaurant called Mario’s for many years. She continued to work in the restaurant business until her retirement from the Autopac coffee shop. Maria joined the CWL in 1987 and became a very active and devoted member.
