Obituary

Martha Ochoa Estrada, amada esposa, mamá, abuelita, y tía nació Junio 2, 1937 en Jaripo, Michoacan y falleció Abril 11, 2025 a las 9:31 am en el hospital de Good Samaritan en San José, casi dos meses antes de cumplir sus 88 años. Martha era orgullosamente residente de Hollister, CA donde vivió 35 años. Vivió una larga vida, pero nunca lo suficientemente larga para sus seres queridos.

La sobreviven su esposo Juan Estrada Manzo, y sus hijos, Juan, Javier, Arturo, Georgina, Gerardo, Araceli, Sergio, y Claudia, sus nietos, y bisnietos.

El favorito color de Martha era el amarillo porque decía ella que atraia el dinero. Aunque tenía diabetes, comía lo que quería y lo que se le antojara, especialmente lo dulce. Le gustaban las enchiladas verdes de pollo y los uchepos de Michoacán. Le encantaban los plátanos machos. Era una persona sabia con sus consejos, con una risa burlona, y la persona más chistosa e ingeniosa con sus respuestas. Sus anécdotas, chistes, consejos, enseñanzas, su ejemplo, su fuerza, y su amor pasarán de generación a generación, ese es su gran legado.

Martha será recordada por su amor incondicional, su paciencia, su don de escuchar, su espíritu generoso, su gran fe, y su risa contagiosa. A través de todos los que la sobreviven, siempre vivirá. Descansa en paz.

Martha Ochoa Estrada, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and aunt, was born June 2, 1937 in Jaripo, Michoacan, and passed away April 11, 2025 at 9:31 am at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, almost two months shy of her 88th birthday. Martha was a proud resident of Hollister, CA, where she lived for 35 years. She lived a long life, but never long enough for her loved ones.

She is survived by her husband Juan Estrada Manzo, and her children, Juan, Javier, Arturo, Georgina, Gerardo, Araceli, Sergio, and Claudia, her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Martha's favorite color was yellow because she said it attracted money. Although she had diabetes, she ate whatever she wanted and whatever she craved, especially sweets. She liked green chicken enchiladas and uchepos from Michoacán. She loved plantains. She was a wise person with her advice, a mocking laugh, and the funniest and wittiest person with her comebacks. Her anecdotes, jokes, advice, teachings, her example, her strength, and her love will be passed down from generation to generation; that is her great legacy.

Martha will be remembered for her unconditional love, her patience, her gift for listening, her generous spirit, her strong faith, and her contagious laughter. Through all those who survive her, she will always live on. Rest in peace.
