Abstract
The

in
two
folders
within
this
collection
. The
first
folder
contains
papers
providing
a
brief
biography
about
Maria
and
others
that
detail
facts
and
information
about
her
professional
life
;
including
letters
,
papers
and
publications
.
Included
in the
collection
are her
Education
and
Experience
Record
and
several
papers
which
resemble
a
Resume
.
Along
with these
papers
there are
several
letters
of
recommendation
showing
what a
dedicated
nurse
and
woman
she was. There are also a
few
letters
from
friends
and
students
expressing
their
gratitude
to
Maria
.
One
in
particular
is
written
from a
mother
after
the
graduation
of her
daughter
: '
I
am
sure
that there were
many
mothers
in that
audience
last
night
who
would
liked
to have
thanked
you
for
your
important
role
in the
development
not
only
the
professional
efficiency
of their
girls
, but for the
finer
standards
of the
inner
self.
' A
friend
,
Anna
Hart
,
writes
in
1958
, 'What an
ideal
you
have been
throughout
the
years
to the
hundreds
of
women
who
have been
privileged
to be
inspired
by
you.
' These
letters
show
the
great
feelings
of
love
,
appreciation
and
respect
that those
who
knew
Maria
felt
. From her
papers
one
can
tell
that she had a
wonderful
influence
in
people's
lives
,
especially
women
. The
folder
also
contains
a
short
biography
and
tribute
that was
aired
on
KSL
as a '
Bouquet
of the
Day
' on
October
5
,
1938
which
stated
that
Maria
was '
one
of
Utah's
foremost
nurses
and
educators.
' There are also

pages
from a
book
titled
, In
Retrospect
:
25
Years
of
Practical
Nursing
at
Utah
Technical
College
,
which
is
dedicated
to
Maria
.
It
reads
, 'For
six
years

students
led
the
nation
, as a
group
, with the
highest
scores
in their
qualifying
Practical
Nursing
License

focuses
on her

cover
her
education
from

,
displaying
her
excellent
grades
and a
variety
of
subject
matter

of
