Our beloved Monica gained her angel wings on Sept. 10, 2021. Monica was born on Dec. 3, 1960, in Romeo, Colo., to Mary and Berlie Martinez.
Monica enjoyed reading, doing puzzles, and spent most of her time tending to her flowers. She was a garden angel. She loved hummingbirds, butterflies, birds and nature.
Monica loved spending time with her family and her kids, but she especially loved her grandkids. She enjoyed talking to and spending every chance she got with them. They were the light of her life. She looked forward to her tea parties with her little ones and loved painting their nails.
She also loved watching her shows on Netflix. Monica enjoyed the comfort of her home and the frequent visits from her siblings Ralph and Michelle. She was also very proud of her native roots. She lit up any room with her contagious laugh and her beautiful smile. Just her presence alone brought comfort and peace to anyone around her. Monica was loved by so many. She also gave as much love as she could to those around her. She is no longer chained to this unforgiving world we call Earth. She is home and breathing in God’s sweet love. We will all miss her with all of our hearts.
She is survived by her wonderful loving husband of 44 years; Jimmy Martinez; son Jude (Maranda) Martinez; daughter Crystal (Alexander) Euceda; son Santiago Martinez; daughter Natasha (Joseph) Vigil; daughters Ivadel and Roxanne Martin; grandchildren; Francesca, Irving, Monica, Berlie, Lila, Natalia, Dominic, Gideon, Malakai, Yazmine, Angelina, Miguel, Daviyon, Adrian, Helyiana, Christopher and Jazynae; four brothers, four sisters; and many family and friends.
Monica was preceded in death by her parents; Mary Rafeala Martinez and Berlie Walter Martinez, and several family members.
Cremation was chosen. In order to respect her last wishes, a funeral will not be held. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
