Martha Murillo
Obituary
Martha Murillo died on Jan. 8.
Mrs. Murrilo was born on June 17, 1954 to Maria Luisa Martinez and Francisco Ramirez in Somerton, Ariz.
She met her husband Ruben Murillo when she was 15 years old and married him years later. They were happily married for more than 50 years and together they raised three children. She resided back and forth in Yuma, Ariz., and Watsonville most of her life.
Her biggest joys in her life were spending time with her family and cooking for everyone. She always enjoyed cooking and sharing her recipes she learned from her mom and passed down to her children and grandchildren. She also loved traveling-whenever she had the opportunity she would pack up and head out of town. She was a mother figure to many people and never turned down a hand in need.
Mrs. Murillo is survived by her husband and her children, Cynthia Murillo, Monica Rogers and Angel Murillo, as well as 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Although she is gone, Martha's memory will forever live on through her family and friends.
Mehl's Colonial Chapel was entrusted with the funeral arrangements.
