On May 20, 2024, the world lost a ray of sunshine with the passing of Maria Martinez of Harlingen, Texas. Born on September 14, 1951, Maria lived a life full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

She is survived by her three children, Duane(May and June), Kenneth(Kendra and Bishop), and Julie(Ednay, Katrice, Alex, and Ander), who brought her endless joy and pride. Maria adored her 8 grandchildren, always spoiling them with treats and hugs.

While Maria may no longer be with us physically, her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She will be dearly missed, but her memory will bring smiles and warmth to those who were lucky enough to have known her.
