In Loving Memory of Christine "Tina" Angela Martinez
November 28, 1949 – January 7, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Christine “Tina” Angela Martinez, who was called to God’s Garden on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. Tina, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, will be forever remembered for her vibrant spirit and boundless love.
A true embodiment of joy, Tina was always the life of the party. Her infectious laughter could light up any room, and anyone who met her was never a stranger for long. A natural conversationalist, Tina could spark a connection with anyone she encountered, leaving behind a trail of smiles and warmth.
Tina spoke her mind with honesty and grace, and she loved fiercely—without limits. A true RAIDER fan, her passion for life and unshakeable sass were as legendary as her dedication to family and friends. She gave so much of herself to those she loved, and her legacy will live on in every heart she touched.
We will forever miss her vibrant energy, her unwavering love, and her unique spirit.
You are forever loved and will never be forgotten.
