TRAVERSE
CITY - Martha Yres Favela, 70, of Traverse City passed away Friday, Oct. 4,
2013 at her home surrounded by her loving family.
Martha was born March 10, 1943 in Mercedes,
Texas the daughter of Ygnacio and Anita (Longoria) Luna. On Aug. 7, 1959 in
Corpus Christi, Texas she married her loving husband of fifty four years,
Armando Favela, who survives.
Martha confessed Jesus Christ as her Lord and
Savior. She was well-known for her cooking of Spanish cuisine. She made many of
her clothes as she loved to sew and embroider. Welcoming all young children to
call her "Tata", she built long-lasting relationships with them and
often shared her faith.
One of
her most favorite things was having tea parties with her grandchildren, even as
they grew up. As she traveled with the family music ministry, she held the
honored position of Prayer Warrior, asking God's blessings, protection and
traveling mercies as they traveled through many towns and states.
The family wishes to thank the following for
their wonderful care of our dearest Martha: Caryn Omey, daughter-in-love;
Sherry Weir and family; and Kelly Johnston and family. The family would also
like to thank the staff at Munson Medical Center and the staff of Munson Hospice.
Martha is survived by her husband, Armando;
five children, Armando (Laura) Favela Jr., Yvonne (Dave) Smiddy, Javier (Sue)
Favela, Gina (Darren) Schlegel, Marina (Nik) Mathias; seven siblings, twelve
grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren.

ReplyDeleteI will always remember Martha as a kind, loving, gracious Godly woman. She so sweetly manifested the Spirit of Jesus and was an example of a lovely Proverbs 31 woman. She loved and admired her husband and spoke so well of him. Her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy. She was clothed in strength and dignity and I look forward to seeing her in Heaven someday. That is the hope we have as we miss her.
