Concepcion T. Martinez, 94, a lifelong resident of Harlingen, TX, passed away July 9, 2020 at Valley Baptist Medical Center. "Conchita," as she was known to most, was born on April 23, 1926 in Las Rusias, TX to Hilario Trevino Jr. and Fidela Sanchez de Trevino.

Concepcion married Carlos Martinez, Sr. and they were blessed with five children.  She leaves behind her loving family to cherish her wonderful memory, children, Frances M. Guzman (David), Carlos Martinez Jr. (Frances), Sally Ann Ramirez (Lazaro), Joseph Martinez (Melisandra), and daughter-in-law Susana Martinez (James Patrick+); eight grandchildren, Veronica Pulido (Martin), Regina Rangel (Hector), Charlotte Marin (Ricardo), Carlos Martinez III, Ernesto Ramirez (Maria Gabriela), Bianca Cano (Jesus), Alyssa Martinez, Danielle Martinez and eleven great grand children Larisa Pulido, Tobias Pulido, Victoria Rangel, Alexandra Rangel, Aidric Marin, Merick Marin, Aliyah Marin, Nelson Ramirez, Ezra Ramirez, Sophia Cano, Olivia Cano.

Concepcion is preceded in death by her parents, her loving husband Carlos Martinez, Sr., her youngest son, James Patrick Martinez, and ten brothers and sisters.

She was a lifelong parishioner of Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church where she served many years as a Eucharist Minister/Coordinator, CCD teacher, Valley Interfaith and Guadalupanas.  Her spiritual devotions included prayers, reading scripture, rosaries and being a prayer warrior for all requests.  Tending to her plants and talking on the phone with friends and family were her passions.

Her loving children will miss her deeply, but know that she is now in heaven with her loved ones.  Her unique perspectives and opinions remain with all her friends and family.

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, funeral services will be limited only to immediate family members. Private services are under the direction of Trinity Funeral Homes in Harlingen with internment at Mont Meta Memorial Park Cemetary.

A memorial service will be conducted at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, you may offer a Mass in her honor at a parish of your choice.
