Patricia Ann Martinez's Obituary
It is with profound sadness and broken hearts, that we announce the transition of Patricia Ann Martinez (aka Patsi Osollo), 68 of Tucson, AZ.
Patsi will always be remembered for her kind and loving heart, giving ways, and faith in Jesus Christ. Like her mother, her love and devotion to Christ is a wonderful legacy she shared with her family. From her daughter to her great grandchildren.
Patsi was born in Fort Benning, GA. As a military child, Patsi got to experience life in many places: Kentucky, Berlin Germany, California, Washington, Oklahoma, and finally settling in Arizona.
Patsi was the oldest of four children. She often would describe herself as the shy and quiet sibling. It was a family joke that Patsi was the ‘cry baby’ and most sensitive of the bunch. She had a big, open heart and wore it on her sleeve.
Patsi had retired from the University of Arizona where she worked with payroll. She then went to work at Lincare where she met her amazing friend, Misty. They developed a family love that will transcend time and space. That special relationship also extends to her friend Kelli. The relationship with these two women meant the world to Patsi and she and her family will forever be grateful for them and the love they had for her.
Patsi enjoyed spending time with her family (especially her Great Grandbabies: Aaiden, Elijah, Evieanna, and Riko). Family to her didn’t only include her blood family but extended to her church family as well. Patsi loved being part of her worshiping communities. She once held the role of prayer intercessor for Cleansing Stream, would attend the women’s Monday night Bible study, and traveled with her sisters in Christ as part of the Joyce Meyer Ministries.
Patsi is survived by her husband Manuel ‘Junior’ Martinez, daughter Elizabeth (Mike) Sierra, bonus kids Nick Velasquez and Clarissa Martinez, her grandkids: Brittany, Kyle, Alex, Akias, and Calliope, her father Eduardo Osollo, sisters: Debbie (Danny) Gutierrez, AnnMarie ‘Deta’ (Tim) Davis, and brother Eddie Osollo. She will also be missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and further extended family. Patsi is reunited with her Mom Mariana ‘Ana’, Maternal and Paternal Grandparents, and Niece and God-daughter, Danielle.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026 starting at 12:00 pm at FRCC 2425 Huachuca Dr. Tucson, AZ 85745, with a reception to follow.
