Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon her.
With profound love and cherished memories, we celebrate the life of Adela C. Martinez, born on September 19, 1929, in Floresville, Texas. Though her journey was touched by hardship and loss, Adela carried herself with quiet grace, kindness, and an unwavering spirit. Her greatest joy in life was her family-watching her daughters grow, loving them endlessly, and encouraging them through every season of life. Her love extended to her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, each one a precious gift to her heart.
Adela dedicated many years to caring for others, working at an assisted living facility where she was deeply respected for her compassion, gentleness, and selfless heart. Even after retirement, when she became a resident herself, her nurturing spirit never faded. She was known to comfort and befriend others, often telling her daughter how she wished she could do more to help the staff who cared for her. Her work ethic, humility, and kindness remained constant throughout her days.
Adela found peace and joy in life's simple pleasures-reading, crocheting, and solving word search puzzles.
Through her warmth, patience, and quiet strength, she touched countless lives and left a legacy of love that will continue to inspire all who knew her.
Adela is lovingly remembered by her eldest daughter, Marylou Rodriguez (husband: Robert Rodriguez); Son-in-law: Ronald Guzman Grandsons: Robert Daniel Q. Rodriguez (wife: Paula V. Rodriguez), James Albert Mendoza, Frank David Philipson (wife: Belinda Phillipson), and Joseph Alexander Guzman Granddaughter: Jeannette Ann Mendoza Great-grandchildren: Zachary Vargas (wife: Marissa Vargas), Jeremy Cuevas, Matthew Cuevas, Dominic Cuevas, Jaqueline Diane Mendoza, Rolando Martin Rojas, James Edward Rivera Jr., Tori Alysse Phillipson, and Frank Andrew Phillipson.

Adela now joins her beloved husband Ramiro Martinez, and her cherished children Angie Quiroga, Gloria Jean Guzman, Daniel Quiroga Jr., David Quiroga, and Albert Quiroga in eternal rest. She is also reunited with her precious granddaughters Laura Diane Rodriguez and Janie Adele Mendoza, and great-granddaughter AnnMarie Cuevas.
Though she has left this world, the love she gave continues to shine brightly through her family and all who were blessed to know her. Her gentle soul and caring heart will forever remain in our memories.
