Mayra Arteaga (née Guevara Zavala) 

 

Passed away at the young age of 49 peacefully surrounded by the love of her mother, children, husband, siblings, nephews, and extended family in Boston on July 12, after a courageous 23-month battle against cancer.

 

On February 5, 1972, Mayra was born to Ciro Guevara and Maria Zavala in El Salvador, where she started her career as a journalist. Before being diagnosed with cancer Mayra worked as Editor-in-chief of Hola News, a Spanish language newspaper based in Charlotte, NC.

 

Mayra was known to family and friends for her charisma, contagious joy, and kindness. Through her profession, Mayra served with passion and love for the Hispanic community of the Carolinas, always lending a helping hand to whoever needed it. She was an extraordinary human being, a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. Mayra was a beautiful soul who enlightened our hearts every day, her warmth will forever remain in our hearts (the fortunate ones that had the chance to have her in our lives).

 

Mayra is survived by her husband, John Rabon, her children (Stefanía, Juan José, and Matthew), her parents, brothers, sisters, and a big and loving Salvadoran extended family.
