Martha Cecilia Santiago, a longtime resident of Stamford, CT, passed away at Stamford Hospital on the evening of Wednesday, September 12, 2018 with her loving family by her side. Martha was born on December 9, 1953 in Medellin, Colombia and was one of six children born to the late Enrique Gomez and Hermelina Amaya, and their only daughter.

Martha was a unique person. She loved having company and always would have people to her home and make them meals. Every time you would visit her the first thing she would ask is “did you eat yet?” or “would you like to eat?”. She loved to travel, play bingo and had a big heart for small children. She loved having her kids and grandkids over her house, as well as friends. She was loved by the people in her neighborhood and anybody who had the pleasure of spending time with her and having the opportunity to get to know her. Martha was a very humble and giving person, and always willing to help people any way she could. She will always be remembered and never forgotten.
