Martha (Gonzalez) Greene
Obituary
Martha Greene lived a life rooted in love, compassion, and service. Born in Mexico, she often fondly recalled her early years in Mexico City. At 11, she immigrated with her family to Healdsburg, California, where, as the eldest of eight, she naturally grew into a role of guidance and care.
Her life's work centered around uplifting others. As a liaison for the Mark West Union School District, Martha developed vital programs for underserved students. Her devotion continued through roles with CHDC, PG&E's Energy Partners Weatherization Program, and IHSS-each reflecting her unwavering commitment to helping those in need. Her faith was her compass, and her gentle mantra, "God will provide," guided her through every challenge.
Above all, Martha treasured her family. A loving mother to eight, she also embraced the joy of being a grandmother and a matriarch to a large extended family. She loved reading, sewing, exploring museums, and being near the ocean. Her stories and humor were the heart of every family gathering.
Martha passed away peacefully at home in Santa Rosa on March 19, 2025. Her spirit lives on in every life she touched.
A Memorial Service will be held at 11am on April 25, 2025 at Daniels Chapel of the Roses, followed by a Celebration of Life at Finley Park.
