Carmen E. Alvarez Martinez

      Carmen E. Alvarez Martinez, 96, beloved mother and grandmother passed away peacefully in her sleep at the Bedrock Rehab and Nursing Center at Winter Park on September 3, 2024. She was born in Cuba on February 12, 1928, the oldest daughter of Andres Alvarez and Zoila Alvarez Mato. She had five sisters and one brother. She was married for 60 years to Magdonio Martinez until his passing in 2008. She is survived by Roberto Martinez, her son (spouse: Maggie) and Gisela Martinez Gonzalez, her daughter (spouse: Jose). Carmen also had three granddaughters, five great-grandsons and four great-great-grandchildren.
