Palma Portillo Maldonado

Palma Portillo Maldonado of Phoeniz, Arizona was born August 23, 1951 in Chuihuichupa Mexico. She died on December 4, 2022.

Palma came to live in the United States in early 1974. She came to the States with her loving husband, Elias A Maldonado with their two young children, Elias and Diana.  

Elias and Palma settled in the Fallon, Nevada area after Elias worked in Smith Valley, Yerington, and settled in Fallon after adding two more daughters, Maria and Yessenia.  Palma spent many years being a housewife, mom, and best friend to many people.  She was known for her kind heart, giving attitude, and most of all her food! Nobody enjoyed her food more than those who were able to partake of what she would make.

Palma is preceded in death by her son, Elias Maldonado; granddaughter, Shawnee Nicole Clark; and parents, Elena Y Gregorio Trevizo.

Surviving family includes her husband E Alejandro Maldonado; daughters, Diana Maldonado of Phoenix, Az; Grandchildren: Cristian Diego Montes-Maldonado, Selena Montes, Erika Montes, Luiz Montes, Remy Montes, and Kataleya Maldonado; Daughter, Maria Maldonado of Grass Valley; Grandchildren: Dakota (Zoe) Baumbach of Hawaii, Macienze Baumbach of Florida; Daughter, Yessenia Maldonado of Fernley Nv; Grandchildren: Mateo Maldonado of Fallon; Kara Clark and Samuel Maldonado of Fernley NV;  Grandchildren: Michael Brittain of Texas with great-grandchildren: Nova and Carston and great grandbaby to be Ezio Perez; Lia Maldonado of San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico; Sisters and Brothers: Maria Elena Keener, Sylvia (Eliseo) Maldonado, Sergio Portillo, Rosario Portillo; Bertha Portillo, Carlos (Louisa) Portillo and Fernando Portillo; Numerous nieces and nephews.

Comment publication date: 8/17/26, 7:40 PM Comment source: Jorge Jose Guerrero Comment author: Patti Cole Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories. The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it. Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all. An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile. For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
