MARTHA IZQUIERDO

August 29, 1954- October 18, 2021

Martha Izquierdo, 67, joined our Lord in His heavenly kingdom on Monday, October 18, 2021.

Martha dedicated her life to the formation of young minds in Laredo.  She was a retired educator, having taught for over 32 years for LISD.  After retirement, she would recall the fond memories of her beloved students, many of whom still remember her to this day.  Aside from her passion to teach, Martha was a woman of faith and family.  During her free time, she would craft homemade wreaths and tutus, all the while keeping her beautiful smile.  After retirement, she enjoyed all these things as well as travel, dancing, music and the love of family.  She will be forever missed but remembered in the hearts and minds of all whom she touched on her earthly journey.

She was preceded in death by her parents Felix and Maria Rosario Garcia.

Left to cherish her memory are her beloved husband Julio Izquierdo, Jr., daughter Dr. Naomi Izquierdo (Joe A.) Martinez, grandchild Gia Martinez, siblings; Jesus Javier Garcia, Felix (Melissa) Garcia, as well as numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

The family will attend a Memorial Mass at San Agustin Cathedral followed by interment services at The Calvary Catholic Cemetery.  This service will not be open to the public. The family requested a private memorial service and are grateful for your support and understanding during this difficult time.
