Maria Cozma

MARIA COZMA age 70, passed away on February 2^nd, 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was an amazing mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend. 

For those who knew Maria closely, it was clear that she had come to Earth to give, nurture and support. She had a caring nature, like a mother hen, who would often take people under her wing and offer support in any way she could. She had a way with people that made her stand out. Maria enjoyed her work as a CSPD technician at MetroHealth Hospital where she was loved and appreciated.  Maria was also an amazing cook, a lover of classical music and had a passion for travel. 

 Maria will be greatly missed by her daughter, Diana, son-in-law, Jim, grandchildren Natalie and Cameron, sisters Veronica and Lili, mother Ioana, nieces, nephews and the rest of the family. Her presence will also be greatly missed by her friends, who, like jewels, shone bright throughout her life and even more so on her cancer journey, always there to help, encourage and be with her until the Lord called her home.
