Sonya Martinez

Sonya Martinez, 56, of Scottsdale, Arizona, passed away on December 1, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.
Born with a generous spirit and a heart that seemed to hold the whole world, Sonya was the kind of person who would give her very last dime to help someone in need. She made friends wherever she went—her warmth, humor, and openness drew people in effortlessly. Anyone who met her felt her kindness, and many walked away feeling as if they had known her forever.

Sonya was a devoted wife to her husband, Gilbert Martinez, and a loving mother to her daughters Venessa, Elisa, Marisela and Selena, and her son Zachary. She was immensely proud of her large and beautiful family, which grew to include 19 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her endless joy. Her family was her greatest treasure, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

Her legacy lives on in the love she showed, the friendships she built, and the countless lives she touched with her compassion and generosity. Sonya’s presence will be profoundly missed, but her memory will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew her
May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
