Martha was born in Thorndale, Texas on April 18, 1929 to Guadalupe and Santos Chazarretta. She grew up with 10 siblings. She met and married Mario Ortiz for 34 years, until his death in 1979.
She is survived by her eight children, Carlos (Jhonni), Carmen (Betty), Vera (Jacob), Martha, Alice, Lucy, Hope, Mario Jr. (Mary) and John (Lydia), later in life; eleven grandchildren; and seventeen great-grandchildren.
She loved God, family, Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys, GAMBLING, and in her spare time crocheting and needlework.
We will always miss her, until we meet again. We love you Mom
