Marta Celia Sanchez, 91, went home to be with our Lord on Feb. 4, 2021 in Mason, Michigan. She shared 56 beautiful years with her husband, Natividad Berrios, who passed July 25, 2010. The two shared two beautiful children, Walter and Helen.

As a truly caring and supportive woman, she raised her two children with all of the love in the world. She loved her family dearly. She will be remembered for her endless devotion to loving and supporting her family, her admiration for nature and her warm heart. She will be deeply missed by family, friends, and all who knew her.
She is survived by her daughter Helen Marie Sanchez Wilson; her grandchildren, Nathalie Berrios Gonzalez and Cristina Marie Santiago Sanchez; her great grandson Loren Michael Montoya; her brothers, Luis Sanchez and Gumer Sanchez; and her sisters, Cruz Marie Sanchez and Livia (Vivita) Sanchez.
