On Saturday June 29, 2024 Myrtle Louise Martin, known as Suzy by all her family and friends, passed away.

Suzy was born in Wyoming on February 2, 1938. She came to Humboldt County in 1954. Suzy met Carl Martin and they were married in 1956. Suzy and Carl lived on Martin Ranch, raising three children there.

Suzy was a wonderful cook and loved doing it. She and Carl hosted many community dinners. She especially loved events where she and Carl could dance together.

She worked for Carl Johnson Company for many years. If you went to the auction and visited the snack bar you would have seen Suzy.

She was predeceased by her husband Carl Martin and her youngest son Elbert Martin and her son-in-law Larry Cardoza.

She is survived by her oldest son Eugene Martin, daughter Carla Martin Cardoza, grandsons Joey Martin, Michael Martin, Justin Martin (Stephanie), great-grandchildren Kaden Martin and McKenzie Martin.

She was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be greatly missed by her entire family. Suzy loved flowers, so please plant a flower.

Right now I’m in a different place
and though we seem apart
I’m closer than I ever was
I’m there inside your heart
