Conedera.  She is survived by her son Mark (Ellen) Conedera of Champion; her daughter-in-law Judith Conedera of Denton, TX; her six grandchildren Carl, Paul, Laura, Matthew, Katelynn, and Carolyn; and three great-grandchildren.  Visitation for Maria will be private at the request of the family.  A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, December 2, 2020 at 10 AM in Triumph of the Holy Cross Parish, St. Clare Church.  Procession and interment in Round Hill Cemetery, Elizabeth Twp., will be private.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions should be made to Harmon House, 601 S.
