In memory of Irene Martinez Garcia who happily lived from March 11, 1964- February 19, 2021. Irene was daughter of Joel Martinez Ceniceros & Lilia Martinez Urrutia, born under the covenant, in the beautiful city of Chihuahua, Chihuahua MX. Growing up along her 12 siblings, being the middle child, Irene became a beautiful hard-working woman graduating as a certified public accountant at UACH university. Following her journey, she married Hector Escarzaga Gomez by all time and eternity at the Mexico City Temple. They had their oldest son, Hector and Celeste as their youngest daughter. Continuing with life, she became widowed in the year 2012 when the Lord decided to take her husband home. Irene then decided to continue her life along her family in Orem, Utah. Irene was a person who would always put family first, always found the positive side of things, and always shared a smile to anyone she met. Irene’s biggest passion was listening to music and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ being a faithful member all her life. We will always remember her as the happy and bright living spirit who was always singing, dancing, serving, and making everyone laugh. After living a beautiful life full of many trials and miracles, the Lord decided to take her back home in a very special way surrounded by her children and loved ones at the Utah Valley Hospital. In the year 2021, Irene passed away from the COVID virus with lung disease complications. Irene was born a warrior and left as a warrior. We will always love you and may God be with you till we meet again.
