Ramona Gonzales Martinez

November 1, 1931 - December 6, 2012

81, beloved wife, mother and grandmother passed away peacefully on December 06, 2012 at her home in Carpinteria. Born and raised in Carpinteria, she attended local Carpinteria schools and was employed with various businesses in the Carpinteria area. She was a devoted mother with a big heart and very dedicated to her husband, children, and grandchildren. No mother ever loved her children more or wished more for them. She always led by example and was a wonderful role model instilling in her family positive qualities of respect, kindness, determination, and integrity. The joys of her life were her family, gardening, and collection of various interior décor items for any open space in her home. She was preceded in death by her father, Juan Gonzales, and mother, Maximina Tafolla, and brothers; Luis (Dolores), Gabe (Beatrice), Robert (Betty), and George (Gloria). She will truly be missed and forever live in our hearts and souls. She leaves behind; her husband of 61 years Mike Martinez; her children, Thomas and his wife Reese of Carpinteria; and Michael and his wife Jennie of Santa Barbara, grandchildren Stephen, Jon, Kelly, Daniel, and David Martinez. She also leaves behind her sister Rosie Martinez (Lorenzo), her brothers Joe Gonzales (Otilia), and Fred Gonzales (Eleanor). A special thanks to our family and friends who have been emotionally supportive during this difficult time. A funeral Service is planned for Friday Dec 14th at 10:00 AM at St Joseph's Chapel, 7th Street, Carpinteria. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care of Santa Barbara Foundation, 222 East Canon Perdido St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101.
