Martha Viera Peña

Christ on December 3, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones.

Born on January 30, 1953, Martha was born to Elias Viera and Basilisa Guzman

in Tecuala, Nayarit, Mexico. Martha was the third of twelve surviving children.

Martha moved to California in her late teens to find work. She found and worked

several different types of jobs including computer fabrication and textile work.

With her earnings, Martha would save for her basic needs and send money back

to her family to assist with ongoing education costs for her siblings.

She was proceeded in death by her husband, Federico J. Peña. Martha and

Federico met while attending a church service in California. They were wed on

November 20, 1982. She is survived by her three daughters, Abigail (Angel)

Cruz, Aimee Pena, and Dolly (Jose) Pena; and her grandchildren, Elias, Elliana,

Everly, Angel, and Juliana.

Martha enjoyed gardening, home remodeling, sewing, spending time with her

children and grandchildren, and attending all her grandchildren’s activities-they

made her so proud.

Martha was a wonderful, daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother, grandmother, and

mother-in-law. She cared and loved deeply for her family, friends, and offered a

great level of hospitality to those who she came in contact with.

Martha was a devout Christian and loved the Lord with all her heart and lived out

His word to the very end. Martha along with her husband Federico, listened and

felt nudged by the Lord to reach those that needed to hear the word of God.

Together they gave back to the church, assisted the local community, and

traveled to places with need; helping raise churches in Veracruz and Durango,

Mexico.

Martha lived a full life.

She will be missed deeply by those who loved her. However this is not goodbye

but until we meet again.

Isaiah 41: 9, 10

NIV

9. 0. I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I

called you. I said, “you are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not

rejected you.

10. 0. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am

your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my

righteous right hand.

The Peña family would like to express their gratitude to Muticare Memorial

Hospice and Aveanna, especially Blanca for their compassionate care, kindness,
