Maryelva (Ellsworth/Hirsch) Urdiales, (81), passed away peacefully on November 13, 2021 after a twenty year battle with dementia. She was born into a beautiful family of eighteen children and loved sharing her joyous memories of life on the farm with all of her brothers and sisters. Maryelva was the proud mother of five children, whom she loved beyond all measure. Spending time with her family and friends was one of Maryelva's greatest joys in life.
