Desiree Denee Martin, of Longmont, passed away at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood on the early morning of Sunday, July 14, 2019. She was 59 years old. Desiree was born in Lake Tahoe, Nevada on February 26, 1960. In 1967, Desiree moved from Denver to Longmont where she attended the local schools and ultimately graduated from Longmont High School in 1978.
Soon after graduating from high school, Desiree went to work for the City of Longmont. She continued working for the city until her retirement in 2018. Desiree was married to the love of her life, Steve Martin, in Longmont on October 24, 1981.
Friends, family and relationships were very important to Desiree. Everyone and anyone who knew her would say she was a loving and happy person who was full of life. She would give the shirt off her back to anyone in need. Her laughter and smile were infectious! She was a friend to everyone and it could be said that she never met a stranger. She always took an interest in her friend’s and their families lives- especially their children and grandchildren. She always made you feel special and important. Desiree truly loved animals, especially schnauzers. She had many as pets. Her little Stevie Lee is already missing her presence. Desiree was devoted to her dogs and would make it a point to recognize and celebrate their birthdays. Besides her pets, Desiree enjoyed a few hobbies. Together with Steve, they enjoyed camping, fishing and boating. A hobby since she was a little girl, Desiree loved coloring.
Desiree was truly a kind soul; a beautiful person inside and out. She will sadly be missed by everyone who knew her.
In addition to her husband, Steve, Desiree is survived by her three siblings, her in-laws, aunts, uncles, cousins, numerous friends and last, but certainly not least, her devoted little dog, Stevie Lee.
