Astrid Martinez passed away on October 4, 2022. She was born July 12, 1961, in the village of Laufersweiler, Germany. Her late husband, Jessie Martinez, met her while he was stationed in Germany, and together they moved to the United States. Astrid is survived by her mother Anneliese, her sister Heike, her brother Dirk, her sons Aaron, Steven, Michael, and Jeremy, and her daughters-in-law Amber, Rachel, Kirsten, and Alyssa. She is proceeded in death by her father Rienhard.
For the last 25 years, Astrid lived in Colorado Springs. There she loved hiking, running, kayaking, and spending time with/frequently spoiling her grandchildren Madison, McKinsey, Lara, Anneliese, Maria, Eli, and Gracie. Well traveled, she saw much of this country and many others. She had a strong passion for animals, and could be counted on to form a lasting bond with any of her children’s pets.
Above all else, she lived to help others. No matter how great or small, if a loved one had need, she would be there. With Astrid, you never had to fight a battle alone. Her spirit, love, fire, and kindness will be dearly missed by her family and many friends.
