Ofelia Martinez Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jun. 12 to Jun. 13, 2022.
Ofelia Rincon Martinez died peacefully in her sleep on June 3, 2022. She was born Aug 16, 1937 in Gregory, Texas but raised in Corpus Cristi, Texas. The oldest of nine siblings, she moved to Arizona in the 1950's where she picked cotton along side her family in Casa Grande and Eloy. It would be on those cotton fields that she would meet her husband, Abraham Tijerina Martinez and eventually move to Phoenix and became a mother and a "Nana Ofelia". Whether you called her 'sister' or 'Tia' she loved her family. Her humble beginnings left a lasting legacy of love and loyalty for "La familia" that will comfort those she left behind for generations to come.
She is survived by her daughter in law, Susan D. Martinez, grandchildren, Aliza Martinez (Derrick) Lee, Mario and Manuel Martinez. Her great-grand children Alex and Landon Lee (All of South Carolina). Her two sisters Carol Valenzuela and Celia Medina (both of Oxnard, Ca) and a host of cousins and extended family. She was proceeded in death by her parents, Salvador and Concepcion Navarro Rincon, husband, Abraham Tijerina Martinez children, Abraham Martinez Jr., Henry 'Rick' Martinez, granddaughter Amber Laurel McGinnis and her sisters, Teresa Rios, Lily (Lydia) Rincon, Angie Rubi, brothers John, David and Salvador Jr. Rincon.
