She was born on April 25, 1964, in Eagle Pass, Texas before moving to Dallas where she grew up and ran her own housecleaning business with her mother until early retirement where she would spend most of her mornings at her favorite restaurant, Carmen's Caf. Mari was a big Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe fan shown with her collection of 50's and 60's artwork.

Daughter in-law, Stephanie Leal, son-in law Remy Sisavath, and 5 grandchildren.
Mari was preceded in death by her father, Guillermo Ortiz; granddaughter Layla Marie Gonzalez; cousins "Chuco" Torres and "Smiley" Ortega; and best friend, Rachel Martinez.
