Leslie Antoinette Martinez

Leslie Antoinette Martinez (54), Santa Fe, joined our Lord on November 6th, 2025, surrounded by family. Leslie loved to cook (which she did with love), spend time with family, and the Raiders football team. She could cut a rug and lived life without boundaries. She adored her fur baby Dobey and her feather baby Linus. Leslie (Smez) will be remembered for her sense of humor and always giving everyone caria. She will be greatly missed; the void her death left can never be filled. She is preceded in death by her son, Kyle Martinez, siblings Pamela Cordova, Enrique Martinez IV, and Philip Martinez. She is survived by her mother, Rosalie Martinez, father, Enrique Martinez III, siblings Natalie Martinez, Javier Martinez, and Richard Trujillo, nieces Aubrey Cordova and Carmen Cordova, daughter Melanie Salazar, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Her life will be celebrated with a rosary on December 10th, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., with a mass to follow, at Saint Francis Cathedral. A meal will be served after at the Santa Fe American Legion. Paul bearers are Aubrey Cordova, Melanie Salazar, MariaElena Salazar, Cristina Salazar, Crystal Romero, Angela Urban, Marco Ortiz, and Lindsay Romero. Honorary paul bearers are Lucia Salazar, Mercedez Chavez, Yvonne Martinez and Adelina Martinez. Her care has been entrusted to Rivera Family Funerals and Cremations of Santa Fe.
