MARIA NINY MARTINEZ
With great sadness we announce the death of Maria Niny Martinez at the TBRHSC on Thursday, October 30, 2025. She passed away peacefully following a brief illness. Maria Niny is survived by her son Marcelo and his wife Ana, sister Kocsy and brother-in-law Misael, mother Esther, granddaughter Valeria, nephew Nicolas and dearest friend Israel Torres. Predeceasing her was her husband Hassan Takirambudde and son Marco. During twenty years of employment with the Thunder Bay Multicultural Association, Maria Niny used her education in psychology, her life experience and fluency in both Spanish and English to expertly help thousands of refugees and immigrants when they first arrived in Canada. Maria Niny was highly respected by her co-workers at TBMA and she loved working with them and her clients.
"My mother was an exemplary person: determined, benevolent, and always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. She lived a modest life, but one full of joy, love and an unbreakable spirit. Her smile and generosity will forever remain in my heart. I will carry you with me forever, Mom. Your son Marcelo."
Our family thank the compassionate, brilliant team of doctors, nurses and technicians for their care of Maria Nina. Thanks also to the many friends who spent time visiting and sharing gifts. Maria Niny will be greatly missed by her family, friends, colleagues, and clients.
