Obituary of Felipa Martinez Garcia

FELIPA MARTINEZ GARCIA

LATHAM – Felipa Martinez Garcia, 49 of Latham, was tragically taken from this world on the morning of April 7^th, 2025 while walking to work along her usual route on Route 9.

Felipa was not only a devoted mother and life partner, but also a pillar in our family and in our community. For over 16 years, she worked at the Latham Farms McDonald’s, where she was more than just an employee—she was a familiar, friendly face who greeted every customer with warmth, kindness, and grace. Her coworkers became like a second family, and her loyalty to her job was unmatched. No matter the weather—rain, snow, freezing cold—she never missed a shift. She walked to work every day on the same path, the same routine, for over a decade and a half. She was on that path the morning she was taken from us.

Felipa was a woman of strength, faith, and compassion. She worked tirelessly to provide for our family, often putting others before herself. She gave everything she had to make sure her children were safe, loved, and supported. Her spirit lives on in all of us.

She leaves behind her partner, Alejandro Reyes, and her four children: Alessandro Reyes, Lissette Reyes, Elisa Martinez, and Wilian Martinez.

Relatives and friends are invited to call Tuesday, April 15^th, 2025 from 4:00 - 7:00 pm at The Dufresne & Cavanaugh Funeral Home, 149 Old Loudon Road, Latham.

Following local services, one of Felipa’s long-held wishes will be honored: to be laid to rest in her beloved homeland of Mexico. This was something she dreamed of after so many years in the United States.
