Passing of Victoria Martinez
Good afternoon,
Our colleague, Victoria Martinez, Fresno City College Coordinator of Dual Enrollment, passed away last week after a long illness. She was a dedicated college employee who took pride in her work and helped to increase the number of high school students in dual enrollment.
We extend our sympathies to her family, friends and colleagues. Her family has provided the following information on her services, and a scholarship that has been organized in her name.
The Celebration of Life will be held this Saturday, November 18 at 1 p.m. at the St. James Episcopal Cathedral located at 4147 E. Dakota Avenue in Fresno. A reception will follow. Her obituary can be found at the Chapel of the Light website.
