Mission ~ Our beloved daughter, sister, aunt, and friend was called home to be with Our Lord Jesus Christ on July 1, 2020 at the Mission Regional Medical Center. JoJo, as she was lovingly known by her friends, was born August 21, 1985 in Patterson, California to Javier and Lorena (Guerrero) Martinez. JoJo was a long time resident of Mission. She worked for the Attorney Generals Office for several years at the Pharr office. She enjoyed and loved being with her family, spoiling her niece and nephew. JoJo loved to hangout with her best friends, loved to travel everywhere she could. She always loved to experience new things. JoJo will forever be loved and remembered by her family and those that came to know her.
Left to cherish her memory are her parents: Lorena and Javier Martinez; her siblings: Javier Martinez and Yesenia Martinez; her niece: Dayanara Saavedra; her Nephew: Danilo Saavedra; and her many friends.
