Carolyn was a one-of-a-kind person and enhanced the lives of everyone around her. She was a loving mother and grandmother, who would never miss the chance to talk to one of her beloved grand kids. She wanted nothing more than to leave this world a better place through advocating for the Seventh Day Adventist Church.

Through her religious journey, she played a vital role in bringing many people to know the love of God.
Carolyn Martinez loved many things in her life. The love of her family is what she cherished most. Other things that brought her joy included things like gardening (when she could), crocheting, listening to Elvis and Christian music, studying healthy eating and living, her animals, and art. She was immensely proud of her drawings/paintings and would never miss the opportunity to show off her work. She was an amazing artist that passed her talent and appreciation of art to her children and children’s children.
Carolyn made her way to the gates of heaven and reunited with her lost loved ones on February 23 ,2021. Miss Martinez lived a wonderful 75 years that allowed her to impact many people’s lives for the better. She will be missed and never forgotten, and the memory of her will live in our hearts forever.
In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
