Our beloved mother, Carmen Gloria Martinez, went to be with the Lord on February 9, 2025. She was born in Hatillo, Puerto Rico on August 18, 1932.
She married Andres Martinez on June 17, 1950. She is survived by six children: Ernest Martinez, Betsy Classens, Andrew Martinez, Douglas Martinez, Debbie Padilla, and Jonathan Martinez, and received at the gates of heaven by her middle child, Benjamin Martinez. She is also survived by three children in-law, seventeen grandchildren, twenty-two great-grandchildren, and six great-great-grandchildren.
Special Thank You from Debbie to Mom:
You have always been my inspiration! You taught me how to be a good daughter, mother, wife, and sibling. You gave me all the tools I needed to survive in life. The most important tool, Jesus! I have always applied Proverbs 31 to describe you. I can’t tell you how much I love you and miss you already. You are my sunshine, you are my heart. Hasta Luego, Mommie!
