Florencia T. Martinez
1/26/1945 - 9/18/2022
Florencia T. Martinez, 77, of Kerrville, Texas, passed away after a protracted battle with cancer Sunday morning, September 18, in her residence, surrounded by the company of her beloved family. She took her final breath right when the Spanish Mass at Notre Dame Catholic Church was starting and reassured everyone it was the embrace of the Risen Lord Jesus with whom she went with.
Florencia was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Santiago Trinidad and Juan Trinidad; sisters Aurora Posada and Oralia Martinez; and her son Fernando Martinez. She is survived by her husband of 61 years Juan Martinez; son John Martinez and his wife Laurie; son Rick Martinez and his wife Angela; grandchildren, Jessica Martinez, John Anthony Martinez, Audri Rodriguez, Jonathon Martinez, Jeremy Martinez, and Kryssn Martinez; and great-grandchildren Josh, Valerie, Marcus, Natalie, Samuel, Lucas, Cooper, Brantley, Elijah, Wyatt, and Sloane; and numerous nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her siblings, Mike Trinidad (Esperanza), David Trinidad (Josie), Baldemar Trinidad, Leandro Trinidad (Lolly), Irene Lucio (Cirildo), and MaryAnna Garcia (Michael).
Florencia was born on January 26, 1945, in Floresville, Texas, to Santiago and Lucinda (Silva) Trinidad, who brought her up in a large Catholic-oriented household. Florencia was the sister to ten siblings, all of who shared her quick-witted sense of humor, providing endless laughter. Not only did she create a personal bond within the family, but an everlasting love felt by anyone she knew. She held a great love for her family and had a personality that drew people together, and if that didn’t do the trick, her delicious cooking would certainly bring you to her house!
She was a woman of great faith, and this was exemplified through her extensive work in various ministries at Notre Dame. She spent a great deal of her time leading the Guadalupanas of Notre Dame, participating in ACTS Retreats, and many other acts of service that grew her community of friends who loved her.
