Linda Susan Martin, 69, of Long Beach, CA died Thursday, July 22, 2021 at her residence. Linda Martin was born in Illinois on October 29, 1951 to her loving parents Jeanne and Lisco Long. Before her illness, Linda was a Certified Nursing Assistant where she loved to care for others. She typically took her own personal stuff to do the residents hair and makeup before they had a visit from family which made them very happy. Her favorite memories were to relay playing cards with her brother-in-law Donald Graham Sr, and as the years passed, she turned to the accomplishments of her grandchildren. She would tell her doctors stories about her grandchildren and they would take time to listen which made her so very happy. She was so proud of her grandchildren and when she earned her next badge as great-grandmother, she was even prouder. She loved the fact that Scarlett and Lil Gabriel were a new part of her life. She cherished the pictures and updates on them as she wanted to brag a little bit.
She was preceded in death by her son Gabriel E. Torres and nephew Daniel A. Graham.
Ms. Martin was a daughter, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to everyone who knew her. She leaves to forever cherish her memories, her two daughters Melodie A. Ingram, Christina J. Kennedy, and a son Joseph Gianni. In addition, her 3 sisters, Sallie J. Graham, Mary M. Duffy, Denise Burger, and a brother David Burger. She had 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
