Maria "Marianne" Anita Benitez
November 28, 1952 — February 21, 2025
With a heart full of love and a spirit that embraced the simple joys of life, Maria (Marianne) Anita Perales lived her 72 years surrounded by the family she cherished. She was a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose greatest joy came from spending time with those she loved.
Whether she was humming along to her favorite songs, enjoying a peaceful ride in the car, or sewing something special with care and patience, Marianne found happiness in the little things. Her hands were always busy—whether making home made tamales or holding the hands of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, offering warmth, wisdom, and unwavering love.
She leaves behind a legacy of love: her five children (Maria Urdialez, Christy Rosario, Delores Benitez, Eliza Benitez, and Roman Benitez), 12 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren, each carrying a piece of her kindness and strength in their hearts. Her laughter, her music, and the memories she created will forever echo in the lives of those she touched.
A celebration of her life will be held on March 8, 2025 at 1611 S Seacrest Blvd Boynton Beach, FL 33435, where family and friends will gather to share stories and the love she so effortlessly gave. In her honor, take a drive with the windows down, play your favorite song, and embrace every moment with the people who mean the most—just as she did.
