Marcella A Martinez, 58, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, passed peacefully in the arms of her children on July 1, 2023, at Saint Alphonsus Hospital. Marcella was born March 30, 1965, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, to Alice and Miguel Martinez.
Marcella loved her land of enchantment (New Mexico), music, family, and friends. She touched many lives with her generosity and passion for life. She made it a daily reminder of being “in her prime,” as she lived every day to the fullest and did not take life for granted. Everyone who remembers her is asked to celebrate Marcella’s life in their own way; raising a glass of their favorite drink in her memory would be quite appropriate.
Marcella is survived by her father, Miguel Martinez; children, Samuel and Crystal Martinez; granddaughter, Estella Martinez; sister, Kathy (Manuel) Flores; brothers, Lawrence Martinez, David (Darlene) Martinez, Victor (Sandy) Martinez, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
She was preceded in death by grandparents, Jose Victor & Tiodorita Sanchez.
Vigil for the deceased will be at 5:00 p.m., Tuesday, in St. Joesph’s Catholic Church. Funeral Liturgy will be at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, in St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Burial will follow at Olivet Cemetery.
