Honoring the Life and Legacy of Mary Louise Lopez |
| | | At ThriveWell Cancer Foundation, we are deeply honored to be among the beneficiaries of the Mary Louise Lopez Trust, a meaningful legacy established through the beautiful and impactful work of the late Mary Louise Lopez, an accomplished artist whose creativity and spirit live on through her art. The generous support is made possible by her lifelong friend, Irene Peche, who oversees the trust and continues to share Mary Louise’s artwork with the world through www.mlopezart.com. After her cancer diagnosis, Mary Louise was compelled to help others in the fight, encouraging Hispanic family, friends and loved ones of all races to take every opportunity to go to the doctor and be proactive with their health. Mary Louise passed away in 2022 but she is still providing help to others. All proceeds from the sales of Mary Louise’s vast collection of stunning art fund the trust, go to funding cancer research and to helping others going through treatment. We are privileged to share the following tribute, written by Irene, celebrating the vibrant life and enduring legacy of Mary Louise Lopez. Read more
