Herlinda Linda

Martinez

Herlinda "Linda" Martinez, 63, of Harlingen, Texas, passed away on March 20th, 2023, at home surrounded by her four boys, grandchildren, daughters-in-law, and family after a long battle with stomach cancer. She was born in El Campo, Texas, to Alfredo and Ovidia (Trevino) Munoz on September 28th, 1959. She grew up across Texas and the United States with seven sisters and four brothers. She graduated from Harlingen High School in 1979 and attended college classes at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and Texas State Technical College.
Linda was a sweet and loving soul and will be missed and remembered for all of the lives she touched. Her energy and smile lit up every room she entered, and she was taken away from this world too soon. She tirelessly worked hard and was the best mother and grandma to her boys and grandchildren. Her family knows she walked gracefully through the heavenly golden gates and is two-stepping with a Budlight in Heaven's best country saloon. Linda, everyone you left in this world is saddened that you are gone, but we are happy that you are home-free and pain-free. We will forever love and miss you until we can meet again.
Linda worked as a Human Resource savant for over 30 years of her life. She enjoyed providing resources, ensuring everyone got paid on time, and, most importantly, she loved helping others. In 2016, she retired and took her talents to California, where she continued to be the best mother, role model, and grandma this world has ever seen.
Linda is survived by her four sons, Andrew Reyna, Adrian Reyna (Nicole), Anthony Reyna (Caitlin), and Aaron Martinez (Haley); her grandchildren, Jaxon Reyna, Maleia Ovidia Reyna, Chandler Reyna, and Axl Martinez; her sisters Elesbia Garcia, Tomasa Rodriguez (Guillermo), Elvia Trevino (Sergio), Olga Munoz, her brothers, Antonio Munoz (Fransisca), Arturo Munoz, Alfredo Munoz (Nora), her brother-in-law Ezequiel Gonzalez, cousins and other assorted family and many caring friends.
Linda is preceded in death by her parents, Alfredo and Ovidia Munoz; her grandparents, Alfredo Trevino (Justa) and Tomasa Tirado; her sisters, Elida Yracheta (Florentino), Eloisa Alvarez, Herminia Gonzalez; her brother Amado Munoz, and her brother-in-law Jesus Garcia.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations may be made to offset funeral costs. The family of Linda wishes to thank Moores Cancer Center at the University of California San Diego Health for all the time they spent working with her to fight this battle with cancer. We want to thank The Elizabeth Hospice for providing her comfort during the final two weeks of her beautiful life at home with her family.
