Celsa Estrada Martinez

Celsa Estrada Martinez, age 69, of Palestine, passed away on March 9, 2026. Born on July 28, 1956, in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, to Nuberto and Julia Estrada, she grew up with faith as the cornerstone of her life. The Lord remained first in her heart, and she lived each day guided by her deep devotion. Above all, she longed for her family to know and share a personal relationship with her Savior, offering that faith through both her words and the quiet example of her daily life.

Family was everything to Celsa. A loving and caring woman, she consistently placed the needs of others before her own and found her greatest joy in her grandchildren. She was a woman of her word who kept every promise, believed in doing things the right way, and never postponed what needed to be done. Her strength, determination, and sense of responsibility earned the deep admiration of all who knew her.

Celsa was preceded in death by her parents, Nuberto and Julia Estrada. She is survived by her husband, Santos Martinez; sons Ruperto Martinez and Adam Martinez; daughters Lucia Martinez, Tina Beam and husband Philip, and Imelda Estrada; brothers Oliverio Estrada and Genaro Estrada; sisters Andrea Estrada Castillo and Ricarda Estrada; and grandchildren Azalia Roman, Irene Roman, Allison Jaramillo, Ariana Marie Beam, Philip Norbert Beam Jr., Elena Grace Beam, Samuel Fred Beam, Brianna Villegas, Bryan Estrada, Andrea Estrada, and Jose Ferretiz.
