**Obituary for Catalina Cruz**
Catalina Cruz, a kind and generous spirit, passed away peacefully on July 7, 2025, in Clewiston, Florida, at the age of 74. Born on January 21, 1951, in Honduras, Catalina's life was marked by her unwavering devotion to her family and her nurturing nature.
A loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Catalina leaves behind her cherished daughters, Kenia, Seneyda, Silia, and Sandra Martinez, as well as her sons, Geovany, Pablo, Orlin, Eduardo, and Pedro Martinez. Her legacy continues through her 20 beloved grandchildren and many great-grandchildren, all of whom were fortunate to be recipients of her unconditional love and support.
Catalina was known for her loyalty and curiosity. Her friends and family were often touched by her kindness and her ability to see the good in everyone. She lived a life steeped in love, always putting others before herself and creating a warm, nurturing environment for her loved ones.
Though Catalina pursued no formal accolades in her career, she achieved something far more profound through her role as a matriarch. Her impact is felt deeply, not only among her family but also within her community, which she enriched with her presence and generosity.
Her family invites those who knew her to remember her spirit, cherish the memories created together, and celebrate the warmth she imparted in all their lives. As they mourn her loss, they find solace in knowing that Catalina's generous heart and loving spirit will continue to live on through those she touched.
In this difficult time, friends and family are encouraged to express their condolences and share their memories of a remarkable woman who was, above all, a beacon of love and kindness.
