Virginia Santistevan Marez, 75, of Nampa went to be with our Heavenly Father on January 20, 2023, at home with her true love by her side, and her family near. Virginia was born April 10, 1947, to John and Frances Santistevan in Nampa, Idaho. Virginia was such a loving and caring sister, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. She loved spending time with her family. She loved cooking and baking, especially baking holiday cookies for Les Schwab Tire Centers and other clients of hers. Virginia married her true love and soul mate Henry Marez on June 7, 1964, and made their home in Nampa, Idaho. Virginia gave birth to three beautiful children: Alex, Danny, and Lisa Marez, whom brought so much joy to her heart. She also was so blessed with two wonderful grandchildren, Adam Marez and Briana Marez Burr. Virginia also was blessed with a great-grandson, Alex James Burr, who filled her heart with so much joy and pride. Although losing Virginia has left a huge void in our hearts, we will find comfort in knowing that she is with our Heavenly Father and Savior, dancing with loved ones and the angels in heaven.
