Maria Dolores Fernandez Paramo

Maria Dolores Fernandez Paramo, age 40, passed away peacefully at her home in Mount Airy, Georgia, on Thursday, February 19, 2026.

Born on March 29, 1985, in Mexico, Maria was the beloved daughter of Jose Luis Fernandez and Virginia Paramo. She carried the warmth, strength, and rich traditions of her homeland in her heart throughout her life. Maria deeply cherished her Mexican roots and especially treasured every opportunity to return home to visit her family. Those visits were among her happiest moments.

Maria had a gentle spirit and a generous heart. She found joy in life’s simple and beautiful blessings—tending to her garden, nurturing flowers and plants with the same care she gave to those she loved. Above all, Maria loved her family. She was a devoted wife, a proud and loving mother, a caring daughter, sister, and grandmother. Her home was filled with warmth, laughter, and the comforting presence she so effortlessly provided.

She was preceded in death by her brother, Miguel Angel Fernandez Paramo, whose memory she held close to her heart.

In addition to her parents, Maria is survived by her loving husband, Jaime Morales; her sons and daughters-in-law, Jaime Jason Morales Fernandez (Marisol), Christo Morales Fernandez (Haidyn Hawkins-Morales), Karol Jozef Morales Fernandez, and Joshua Morales Fernandez; her daughter, Cataleya Morales Fernandez; three brothers; six sisters; and two cherished grandchildren. Her love extended widely and deeply, and her legacy lives on in each of them.

A Funeral Mass will be held at 10:00 AM on Monday, February 23, 2026, at Saint Mark Catholic Church. The family will receive friends beginning at Noon on Sunday, February 22, 2026, at her residence, 153 Wisteria Trail, Mount Airy, GA 30563. A Rosary will be held at 6:00 PM.
