Obituary of Violet T. Martinez

Today we lost a legend. Our mother Vi, who could spell in numbers. She had a strong work ethic that made her excel in all things she did, from her favorite career as a telephone operator to her meticulously kept home that would have put Mr. Clean to shame. Our family jokingly called it the museum.

Vi started a family with her husband of 54 years Joe Martinez.  Their first-born daughter Curt & favorite son-in-law John Miller. In the middle, the twins Craig Martinez  & Paula (Al) Yousif. Then the youngest Melayna (Rick) Pokorny and her two cherished granddaughters, Lily and Tess Pokorny.

Vi was born August 2^nd, 1935 in Libertyville IL. She always said she wanted to go on a rainy day, and as the storms rolled in on August 28^th, 2022 she took her final earthly breath.

 Vi was many things but mostly fiercely loyal. A very fair person that made all sorts of lifelong friends due to those qualities and having a great sense of humor.

In the words of Violet herself….
