Sheena Marie Martinez-Minjares (41) was born on May 29th, 1984, and it is with incredibly heavy hearts that we share the heartbreaking news of her unexpected passing on Sunday morning, December 7th, 2025. Our family is devastated as we navigate this sudden loss, and we want to honor Sheena’s memory by sharing the love, strength, and kindness she brought into the world.

Sheena was a devoted and loving mother to her three beautiful children—Isaiah, Anaiah, and Jesiah—who were truly the center of her life. Everything she did, she did with them in mind. Her heart was fullest when she was with her children, supporting them, cheering them on, and celebrating even the smallest moments of their lives.

Sheena was also a cherished sister to her four siblings—Lucas, Jesse, Deanna, and Sara. She shared a special bond with them that was built on laughter and a lifetime of memories. She is also survived by her loving mother, Mona Castillo.

Those who knew Sheena will remember her as an incredibly caring and dependable soul. She had a rare ability to make people feel seen, heard, and valued, and she was always the first to offer help when someone needed it. Whether you knew her for years or met her only once, Sheena had a way of leaving a lasting impact.

Sheena found joy in taking care of herself through fitness and self-care, passions that reflected her commitment to bettering herself for her children and for her own well-being. Her strength—in both body and spirit—was something that inspired many.

As our family grieves this unimaginable loss, we want to come together to honor Sheena’s life and ensure that her children are supported during this difficult time. Any contributions, prayers, or shares of this fundraiser are deeply appreciated as we work to give Sheena the memorial she deserves and to continue caring for the three children she loved more than anything.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for keeping Sheena and her loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. Please anticipate receiving updates on her service arrangements in the near future from her sister Deanna, mother Mona, daughter Anaiah, and her son + daughter-in-law, Isaiah and Olivia.
