Obituary

Maria Elena Campos passed away on May 29, 2026, at the age of 72. She was born on September 24, 1953, to Audelia and Librado Rios Sr.

Maria Elena Campos shared a beautiful marriage with her beloved husband, Adolfo (Quai) Campos Jr. and together they built a life filled with dedication, sacrifice, and countless cherished memories.

For many years, Nena worked alongside her husband (Quai) at Los Amigos Camp Ranch, where she expressed her love through the meals she prepared for others. Her homemade salsa was a favorite among many, and she became affectionately known as "Mama Maria." She welcomed every ranch member and child with warmth and kindness, loving them as if they were her own.

Above all else, Nena treasured her family. She was a mother of eight children. Her legacy continues through her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, sons and daughters. Though she will be deeply missed, her love, strength, and faith will remain in the hearts of her family for generations to come.

Mrs. Campos is preceded in death by her husband, Adolfo Campos Jr.; her parents; daughter, Leticia Fuentes; brother, Antonio Rios; grandson, Romaldo Trevino Jr. and great granddaughter, Emory Campos.

Mrs. Campos is survived by her children, Rachel (Ram) Morales, Angie (Anselmo) Banda, Ana Jane (Romaldo) Trevino, Juan Jesus (Amy) Campos, Yolanda Campos (Robert Colchado), Gloria Linda Palma and Adolfo "Chico" Campos III; siblings, Librado Rios Jr., Jose Daniel Rios, Ana Luisa (Horace) Ruiz and Jose Luis (Yolanda) Rios. She is also survived by 18 grandchildren, numerous great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other relatives.
