 Carmen was born to Phillip and Innocencia Martinez on December 14, 1931, in Holtville, CA.
 Carmen lived and worked most of her life in Morgan Hill and Gilroy, CA.
 Carmen was a devoted mother and homemaker. She was an excellent cook who enjoyed preparing meals for her family and friends. Over the years she collected praise for her tamales and Menudo.
 Her home was warm and welcoming to all. Her quiet and unassuming demeanor endeared her to everyone.
 Carmen also loved an occasional trip to the nearest casino and she loved to watch her favorite novelas with her husband, Henry.
 Carmen will be missed dearly, but will forever be deep within our hearts and memories.
