Fernanda Martinez

Fernanda Martinez, a beloved daughter of San Antonio, born on May 30, 1921, passed away peacefully on February 8, 2025. At the age of 103, Fernanda's heart was as vibrant as the music she cherished, leaving behind a legacy that will be fondly remembered by her family, friends, and community.

Throughout her life, Fernanda was a true embodiment of joy and passion. She loved to sing and dance, her spirit shining brightly in every step and note. Her laughter was infectious, and her presence brought warmth to all who knew her. Her love for her faith was profound; she was a devoted member of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, where she served diligently as a Guadalupana. Fernanda's commitment to her church and community was a testament to her generous heart and unwavering dedication.

Fernanda is survived by her cherished sister, Janie Castro, and her beloved nieces, Santa and Christina Castro. They hold precious memories close to their hearts, recalling the many joyous moments shared with her, who was not only a loving family member but also a source of inspiration and guidance.
