Marta Nava

On Monday, February 2, 2026, Marta Armendariz Nava, loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away at the age of 78.

Marta was born on February 18, 1947, in El Paso, TX. Marta graduated from Bowie High School and went on to work at Thomason Hospital, followed by many years with Sears, and the El Paso Independent School District. She went on to retire from Western Dairy Transport on January 1, 2025, where she was the Office Manager for over 25 years.
