It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that our family announces the passing of our beloved mother Rosa Maria (Rosita) Martinez, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She passed away peacefully on Thanksgiving Day at the age of 95. She was born on January 12, 1928, in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She was a woman of boundless love and devotion, dedicated to our family above all else. She shared a beautiful life with our father, Lorenzo Alvarez Martinez (RIP September 21, 2022), and together they built a strong foundation of love and unity that continues to inspire. She was not only a loving mother but also a guiding light in our lives, teaching our family the values of compassion, resilience, and unwavering love. As a grandmother and great-grandmother, her nurturing spirit knew no bounds. Her wisdom, kindness, and warm embrace provided a haven of love and support for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will carry her memory forward with love and admiration. Our mother touched the lives of many with her genuine warmth. Her legacy is not only defined by her love for our family but also by the countless lives she touched with her kindness and generosity. She will forever be remembered for her unwavering love, her radiant smile, and her profound impact on all who were fortunate enough to know her. May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may her memory continue to bring comfort and strength to our family during this time of loss. Her legacy will forever live on through the hearts of our family and friends.
