In loving memory of Michelle A. Martinez. The Lord welcomed Michelle home on December 1st, 2021 just one day shy of her birthday on December 2nd. Michelle had a beautiful smile and exceptionally large heart of gold. Her heart was full of love for her kids and grandkids, nieces, nephews, parents, siblings, and nina, all of whom love her to the “heavens and back”. One of Michelle’s favorite things was when she had the opportunity to color with her kids, grandkids, nieces, and nephews. Michelle loved kids, she would want to hold and take home any kid she had the chance to. Michelle was also an amazing cook, her food was always delicious and made with lots of love. In fact, one of Michelle’s favorite sayings was “The best way to a man’s heart was through his stomach”. She loved to make home-cooked meals for all of her loved ones.
