Growing up, she and her brother Carlos and their sister, Delfina formed the Trio Martinez. Together, they sang at church and family gatherings. She was a gifted pianist who was self-taught as well. Oralia was a woman of great Faith and she served faithfully in her church as a Sunday School teacher and choir member for many years. Her gentle spirit and kind personality will be greatly missed by many who knew and loved her.

She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, David Martinez and Calixto Martinez and three sisters, Dolores Mendiola, Julia Cortez, Josefina Martinez and Genoveva Jimenez.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband, Calletano Venzor; two daughters, Rachel Ann Lidell and husband Anthony of Enumclaw, Washington and Christine Elaine Gardner and husband Jon of Helena, Montana; one sister, Delfina Martinez; five brothers, Alfonso Martinez, Juan Martinez, Cruz Martinez, Carlos Martinez and Alfredo Martinez.
