Maria was devoted to her eight grandchildren, Peter Haitaian, Michelle Stevens, James Haitaian, Matthew Stevens, Justin Poirier, Lisa Stevens, Brendan Haffey and Kiefer Haffey, and her 2 great grandchildren, Sofia and Rowan. Maria loved her many nieces and nephews. Maria had a deep love for children and served as a foster mother to many infants and toddlers. Maria will forever be cherished by her family and friends. The family is planning a private memorial. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to Maria’s favorite charities: St. Jude Children’s Hospital (www.stjude.org), Doctors Without Borders (www.doctorswithoutborders.org), Smile Train (www.smiletrain.org) or any family that you know who are in need this holiday season.Maria Lena Kuhn
