Juana Martinez De Zamarripa, 84 a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and longtime resident of Salinas, passed away peacefully on September 24, 2025.   She was born on January 10, 1941, in San Juan de Guadalupe Durango, Mexico. She came to the US in 1964, she worked as a field laborer in Bruce Church, Inc. and in Taylor Farms, where she retired.   The way to best describe Juana is as a warrior-protector, A warrior protector for her deep faith in God and her family. As a single parent, she struggled to raise three kids, and she did it successfully.    She had a great heart, opening her home to others who were suffering hard times, and never hesitating to share the good news to others, always having her bible nearby.    Juana is survived by two sisters, Rosa, and Belen, sons, Ricky and Mario, daughter Leslie, grandsons, Marc Anthony, and Ari, granddaughters, Amber Marie, Dana Lynn, and Viktoria Savanna, and great-granddaughters, Ava Camille, Aiyana Cali, and Megan Ashe.    I'm sure my brothers would agree with me when I say, "I'm happy to have had the privilege of calling you mom, I'll always miss you!"
