Posted

Beloved Alamosa resident Sadie Elizabeth Martinez, 83, departed this life on Sept. 17, 2024. Born on Jan. 12, 1941, in Alamosa, Colo., to Scotty Garcia and Maria (Padilla) Garcia, Sadie was the twinkle in her parents' eyes. 

After graduating high school, Sadie went to Adams State College, where she obtained her Doctorate Degree in Education. She worked as an educator and counselor for Sierra Grande for many years. She loved teaching and helping others and being able to pass on wisdom and advice to anyone who wanted it. She was very enlightened and had such a great outlook on life. 

Sadie was a devoted wife, mother, sister, and friend to all. In her free time, she loved playing blackjack tables, having her Wednesday lunch with the ladies. She was an avid Denver Broncos fan, and she absolutely loved spending time with her family and her two dogs Sally and Bex. Sadie will be dearly missed. 

Her legacy will live on through her son Jason P. Martinez of Alamosa, Colo.; special loved ones Lisa Muniz, Jason (Leslie) Faydor, Joann Garcia, Dennis (Cheryl) Garcia. She is also survived by many extended family members and friends. 

Sadie was preceded in death by her parents Scotty and Maria Garcia and her husband Patricio L. Martinez.
