Dora was born May 31, 1936, in Del Rio, Texas, to Pablo and Alejandra Guzman Martinez. She was a loving mother and grandmother who devoted her life to her family as a wonderful homemaker. Dora had an incredible strength and the matriarch of the family who raised her children with a strong, firm hand and always said what she meant. However, she had an amazing sense of humor and always made everyone laugh. Dora also loved dancing, playing lotteria, dressing up for special occasions and she especially loved eating her chocolate candy. She was a beautiful, wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and we will carry her in our hearts forever.
Dora was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Frances De La Garza; and one brother, Daniel Martinez. She is survived by her loving children, Diane Herrera of Del Rio, Gerardo Herrera of San Angelo, Jesus Herrera Sr. and his wife, Virginia, of San Angelo, Javier Herrera and his wife, Rachel, of San Angelo, Jaime Herrera of San Angelo, Mark Anthony Herrera of San Angelo and Phillip Anthony Estrada of San Antonio; 18 grandchildren, especially Emily Herrera of San Antonio, Gerardo Herrera Jr. of Del Rio, Sammy Herrera of Austin and Yolanda Herrera of San Angelo, Texas; and 19 great-grandchildren; her brothers and sisters, Pablo Martinez and his wife, Cecelia, of Del Rio, Anna Hicks and her husband, Norman, of Fort Worth, Ubil Martinez Sr. and his wife, Maria, of San Angelo and Nora Ramirez of San Angelo; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins and other family members and friends.
The family wishes to extend their sincerest thanks to the doctors and nursing staff at Shannon Medical Center.
