Irene was born November 27th, 1957 in San Antonio, Texas and was the youngest daughter of Salvador and Angelita Martinez.
She is preceded in death by her loving parents, brother Henry Martinez, and cousin Ralph Anthony “Sonny” Guerrero. She is survived by her siblings: Sylvia Tejeda (sister), Rene Martinez (brother), and sister-in-law’s: Diana Martinez and Robin Martinez. She is also survived by her nieces and nephews: Steven (Donna), Angela (Jody), Desiree (Briana), Deandra (Izreal), Gabriella (Dominic), and Julianna (Joseph).

Irene was an adoring daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend who had a tenacious zest for life and carefree spirit. In this time of grief, she leaves her family and friends with solace knowing that she has been reunited with her loved ones; above all, her treasured mother Angelita. She will be greatly missed.
