Sharlene Colleen Martinez

On September 29, 2025, Sharlene Colleen Martinez, at the age of 37, was called home to the Lord, passing away unexpectedly and leaving her family, friends, and community all devastated and heartbroken.

Born on October 29, 1987, in Española, New Mexico, to Johnny Martinez and Beverly Siciliano, Sharlene grew into a loving daughter, granddaughter, sister, mother, aunt, neice and friend whose joyful spirit was a blessing to all who knew her. She lived in Arizona, where she built a life rooted in love, hard work, and devotion to her family.

Sharlene leaves behind her two blessed and beautiful daughters, Sabrina (17) and Ginger (16), whom she loved with all her heart. Her girls were her greatest joy, and everything she did was guided by her deep, unwavering love for them.

She cherished time with her family and friends, creating memories filled with laughter, warmth, and togetherness. Sharlene enjoyed cooking and sharing meals, bringing comfort and connection through the simple act of gathering.

Sharlene proudly graduated as a Dental Assistant, earning her certificate of completion, and worked diligently to provide for her family.

Sharlene will forever be remembered for her radiant smile, her huge generous heart, and the way she lit up every room she entered. She lived with kindness, humility, and grace—always putting others before herself. Her beautiful spirit continues to shine in the lives she touched.

She is preceded in death by her father Johnny Martinez; her maternal grandparents Johnny and Higinia Martinez; her paternal grandparents Johnny and Tina Martinez; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. We take comfort in knowing she is now reunited with all our loved ones in God's eternal embrace.

She is survived by her loving mother Beverly Siciliano and stepfather Rick Siciliano; her sister Shannon Martinez; her brother Juan Carlos Martinez; her adored (3) nieces and (2) nephews, her God parents; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.

May her soul rest in everlasting peace, and may her light continue to guide those who loved her.

Sharlene is our Guardian Angel and Shining Star who is forever missed but will never ever be forgotten. We all love you and miss you so much!!

RIP 🙏❤️
