Passed away peacefully in her home on March 1, 2021 at the age of 66. Martha was born in Mexico to Raul and Christina Arteaga and moved to Petaluma at the age of six. She received her education in the Petaluma area and graduated from high school in 1973.
We are proud of Martha's great achievement in becoming the first woman Head Meatcutter in Northern California during her long career with Safeway and Union Local 115. Martha was preceded in death by her brother Hector Arteaga, and survived by her husband Pat Pearce, son Alex, four grandchildren, four great grandchildren, her parents, five siblings, and numerous family members. She is deeply loved and will be deeply missed.

I was so sad to hear that Martha passed away. I have great memories of her all through our school years together, she was just so happy, gentle, funny, although I hadn't seen her in decades, the wonderful memories of her are as if it was yesterday we were walking to school laughing. She definitely left a wonderful impression and that picture of her on this announcement? She looks exactly the same as she did years ago. Condolences to her family and RIP Martha.
