We are saddened to announce Mrs. Maria Oralia "Lali" Leal 74 of Immokalee, passed away November 8, 2021 in Lehigh Acres, FL.

Oralia worked for many years at Redlands Christian Migrant Association (RCMA) as an area coordinator where she loved her job knowing she was helping children and their futures. She was born November 26, 1946 in Robstown, Texas to father Andre Cantu and mother Rosa Bustos Gutierrez and she passed just 18 days before she 75th birthday. She met and married her beloved husband Noe, and she loved cooking--it truly wasn't an obligation, it was a love for her to cook for her family and friends. She enjoyed selling Avon and enjoyed all types and colors of flowers. You always saw a sparkle in her eyes and a sweet disposition.

Oralia leaves many to mourn her, including husband Noe Leal, Sr., son Noe Leal, Jr., daughters Diana Odato and Linsey Briscal, 4 grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family, co-workers and friends.

Calling hours will be held on Tuesday, November 16, 2021 from 6:00-7:45 pm at Brister Funeral Home Chapel, Immokalee. The funeral service will be held on Wednesday, November 17, 2021 Graveside -Lake Trafford Memorial Gardens beginning at 10:00 am.
