Martinez and her husband Sam; nieces Abigail and Andie Martinez, aunts Bobbi La Fond of League City and Mary Edwards of Georgetownand her husband Jim; companion Patricia Newton of Leakey; and numerous cousins.
The family would like to thank those who spoke kind words, offered support, prayer and care, especially to Kendle and Robert and Dr. Grumbles at the Hospice Care Team and his countless angels at Regent Care Center, especially Jennifer, George, Ginger and Tina.
Memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. at Carnes Funeral Home, 3100 Gulf Freeway, Texas City.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Sarah Hrachovina-Coreas Fund, BBVA Compass Bank, 6306 Broadway, Galveston, Texas 77551. Phone 409-744-4571. Due to a crash by a drunk driver, Sarah is in a coma. She has a one year old precious daughter, Naomi.
