Maria De Jesus Crisosto Gil, 63, of Grant, passed away on January 19, 2023, in Houston, Texas.
Maria was born in Las Palmas, Jalisco, Mexico on April 5, 1959.
She was a blessed and devoted mother of eight children, Ivone, Salud, Francisco, Eduardo,
Veronica, Miguel, Juan, and Olga.
Maria accepted Jesus as her savior and that was the foundation for her life. She was a long-
time member of the Zion Lutheran Church in Grant.
Maria was a twenty-seven-year employee of Perkins County Health Services and was the
backbone of the Dietary Department.
Maria was a woman unlike any other, a tenaciously feisty yet loving spirit. She was a hard
worker with an impeccable work ethic, soft spoken and of noble heart. Always willing to give a
warm smile. Maria dedicated her life to raising her eight children and oh how she loved her
grandbabies and great-grandbabies. She had a kind heart and lived a life of service to God, her
family, church, and friends. For those that knew her, knew she loved fiercely and
unconditionally. She loved anything that involved her family, crocheting, gardening, reading,
trying new foods at her favorite restaurants and she was an avid shopper. Maria is forever
loved and will be missed by many.
