March 19, 1938 - January 21, 2019

Margarita “Maggie” Madariaga Felix Diaz of Mexico City, Mexico, passed peacefully from this world into eternal life with her Father in heaven at the home of her daughter in Houston, Texas, on Monday, January 21, 2019. She was as beautiful at the end as she was in life, full of faith, grace, and love. Maggie was born to Margot Felix Diaz Escobar and Florencio Madariaga Ruiz in Mexico City on March 19, 1938, along with two brothers, Ramon and Florencio. Maggie married in 1969 to Gabino Gracia Campillo and had one daughter, Maricarmen. She was a faithful mother who dedicated her entire life to her daughter and grandchildren and gave anything, no matter the sacrifice. She would want to be remembered for her strong faith which came from El Divino Pastor, the Good Shepherd. She always loved her favorite cup of coffee with a piece of cake and walked daily to visit her church and friends within her neighborhood of Polanco. Maggie cherished her many close family members and friends and is survived by her daughter, Maricarmen Gracia, her son-in-law, Ricardo, and her grandchildren, Daniella and Jose Antonio, of Houston, Texas. She is preceded in death by her parents and her brothers. Maggie’s family would like to especially thank their dear friends who supported them in so many ways and also the staff of Harbour Hospice for their loving care. Maggie was an inspiring example of devotion to God, grace in life, strength in adversity, and love for her family and friends, and she will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved her. The family will be present to receive friends Thursday, February 7, 2019 from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM with a Vigil Service beginning at 7:00 PM at Dettling Funeral Home, 14094 Memorial Drive, Houston, TX 77079.
