Marta was a very caring and strong woman who opened her heart to everyone. She was also a caretaker to the neighborhood and enjoyed cooking for everyone. Marta was a homemaker who took pride in raising everyone in her family and always made sure everyone was taken care of. We will forever miss her smile and laugh, and her presence will always be with us.
