In Loving Memory of Maria De Cisneros Romo
In the quiet early hours of Wednesday, December 10th, the community of Tornillo and the greater El Paso area lost a cherished soul. Maria De Cisneros Romo, 54, tragically passed away at the scene of a multi-vehicle, head-on collision along Alameda Avenue in Fabens. Her sudden loss has left a profound emptiness in the hearts of all who knew her.
According to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to the crash shortly before 5:30 a.m. What they found was a devastating scene involving several vehicles and severe injuries. Despite immediate emergency response and the efforts of all involved, Maria did not survive. The impact of the accident was felt far beyond the roadway—it rippled into families, friends, neighbors, and a community that now grieves a life taken far too soon.
Maria’s passing was not only unexpected, but deeply heartbreaking. She was more than a name in a report—she was a daughter, a sister, a mother, a friend, a neighbor, a woman whose presence brought warmth and meaning to the lives around her. Her story is woven into the fabric of her community: in the people she cared for, the moments she shared, and the quiet ways she touched lives. Although her life ended suddenly, the love she gave continues on in those who carry her memory.
Today, her family and friends remember her strength, her kindness, and the steady love she offered so naturally. They remember her laughter, her dedication, her generosity, and the gentle spirit that made her so deeply loved. They remember moments big and small—simple conversations, shared meals, warm embraces, and all the subtle threads that make up a life well lived.
The road ahead for those who loved Maria will not be easy. Grief rarely is. But in the midst of this painful loss, there is also remembrance—a celebration of her life, her spirit, and her legacy. Her memory will live on in the stories told, the traditions kept, and the hearts she shaped. Though she is no longer physically present, Maria remains a guiding light of love and resilience.
As the investigation into the tragic crash continues, the community stands together, offering support, prayers, and compassion to her loved ones. In times like this, unity becomes a balm for sorrow, and shared remembrance becomes a way to honor a life that truly mattered.
Rest in peace, Maria De Cisneros Romo.
May your memory be a blessing, your spirit be free, and your love live on eternally in the hearts of all who knew you.
