Dana'e Sandra Lila Marie Martinez, lovingly known as Naez and Nayy, age 30, of Denver, Colorado, passed away on August 23, 2025.
She was born on July 19, 1995, in Denver, Colorado, to Santiago Martinez and Angel Barajas. Dana'e dedicated her career to serving others as an Eligibility Specialist for Denver County, where she was known for her compassion, humor, and the care she showed to those in need.
Above all else, Dana'e was a devoted mother. She leaves behind her beloved children: Jenesis Koons, Esxence Koons, Adonis Koons, and Enycia Hinojos, who were the joy and light of her life.
She is also survived by her parents, Santiago Martinez and Angel Barajas, and her sisters, Breanna Martinez and Mariah Cornejo, along with many extended family members and friends who cherished her deeply.
Dana'e will always be remembered for her kindness, generosity, and resilience. She carried a joyful spirit that uplifted everyone around her and a heart that welcomed all without judgment. Her love, laughter, and strength will continue to live on through her children and in the hearts of all who knew her.
