Reina Martinez Obituary
Reina will be missed by everyone who had the honor of knowing her. For 27 years She loved & cared for an "old Bear", her husband, Floyd "Bear" Gray. She was a mentor & an encourager to her two daughters, Michele Amato-Topp of Virginia and Lisa Roberts of Colorado. She is survived by two granddaughters: Terez Amato of Hawaii & Melanie Cordero of Santa Barbara, Ca. She was proud to have four great grandchildren: Ariel, Gabrielle, Michael & Raquel, all of Hawaii. Her brother: George Martinez, sister-in-law: Ingrid & their three sons: Reynold, Spencer & Christian were among her favorite people in this world. Of course we cannot fail to mention her lifelong friend Tania.
Reina had many hobbies. She was an accomplished pianist, loved to read, was an avid crossword puzzler and an excellent seamstress. She also enjoyed weekend trips to Reno, on-line poker, and a Manhattan before dinner.
One of her best moments came when, after many years of employment with State Farm Insurance, she was a major factor in winning the class action law suit brought against the company in which women won the right to apply for & become State Farm Agents.
Sammy; Honey; Ma... We will miss your sense of humor and your love & devotion to your family & friends. Praying you rest in peace (and have lots of ice cream.)

So sad to hear of my cousin Reina's passing. Although I didn't have many opportunities to get to know Reina, I am grateful for our visit in January 2008. She was welcoming and wise with many family stories to share. I regret not staying in the area long enough to spend more time with her. So rest well Honey. You will be missed. Heartfelt condolences to her immediate family and all those who loved her.
