Eva Jean Rodriquez
Dec. 16, 1934 - July 16, 2015
Eva Jean Rodriguez, 80, of Farmington, passed away on Thursday, July 16, 2015, in Farmington. She was born Dec. 16, 1934, in Salida, Colo., to Victor and Pauline (De Herrera) Rodriquez.
Many knew her as Jeanne (jee-nee) Martinez, "mom" or her most preferred title, "NaNa." She was bigger than life, had a happy and welcoming smile and a genuine interest and like for everyone she knew and met.
Jeanne had worked various places in the Farmington area in order to raise her eight children, however, the true support she provided was her constant love and availability to each of us. She had worked for Britt's and Anthony's department stores, Justis Supply, New Mexico State Department of Health and Human Services and Bicycle Express.
She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.
Jeanne was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Earnest Rodriguez and Melvin Rodriquez; sister, Irene (Rodriquez) Garcia; nephew, Eddie Garcia; and her grandparents, Oligario and Pablita (Trujillo) Rodriquez and Alfred and Adela (Lujan) De Herrera. She is survived by her sons, Gary (Holly) Martinez, Don Martinez, Mark Martinez, Ron Martinez and Chris (Molly) Martinez; daughters, Cheryl Martinez, Eva (Larry) Delgado and Marnie (Charles) Saiz; sisters, Helen (Rudy) Leewaye, Della Rae Rodriquez and Mary Ann Carter; 26 grandchildren; and 44 great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 25, at the Aztec Civic/Senior Center, 101 S. Park Ave. in Aztec, with family and friends officiating.
Eva's care was entrusted to Alternative Choice Burial and Cremation, 804 N. Dustin Ave. in Farmington, 505-325-9611. Those who wish to express their condolences may do so at www.serenityandcompany.com http://www.serenityandcompany.com.
