At the time she joined God she was 39 years old, leaving behind a special child, Marco Tomas, who she dedicated her life to. Her dying wish was that her son never forget his mother, who deeply loved him. Maria was a special woman who touched many lives. In recognition and in a special tribute to her, the Los Angeles City Council named a public building, the only branch office of the Los Angeles City Attorney Office so named out of seven branch offices. The Grand Central Market branch office was renamed the Maria Elena Reyes Branch Office of the Los Angeles City Attorney. This special recognition was bestowed on Los Angeles Deputy City Attorney Maria Elena Reyes, on February 23, 1996.
