Martha Almenar

Martha had a career working as a drug and alcohol prevention counselor for UPAC. She was a member of Narcotics Anonymous and had a strong passion for helping those in need. Another passion was her interest in music and Chicano Art. She enjoyed attending NA functions, listening to oldies, reading, writing letters, and dancing. Among her favorites were camping, visiting Mexico and hanging out with her family and friends first and foremost. Her smile would light up a room and her vibrant energy was infectious to those around her. She was also a deeply caring person that will be greatly missed by all that knew her.

Martha is survived by her son, Louie Miranda, her daughters, Lisette Ochoa and Desiree Ochoa, her siblings, Rosa Lopez, Dora Hernandez, Marco Gonzaba, Ceasar Gonzaba, Rene Almenar, Christina Almenar, Olivia Almenar, Laura Gonzaba, Richard Gonzaba, Margaret Almenar, and Elvira Almenar. She was predeceased by her parents, Alfred Almenar, Socorro Carbajal, her daughter, Diane Priscella Rosalez, her sister Alice Duran and brother Frank Almenar.
