Martha Murcia Aranzalez
MARTHA LIGIA MURCIA ARANZALEZ
February 4, 1964 - January 26, 2021
It is with heavy hearts and sorrow we announce the peaceful passing of Martha Ligia Murcia Aranzalez on January 26, 2021 at the young age of 56 while getting care at St. Boniface Hospital.
Martha loved and lived for her family in Colombia and in Canada. She leaves behind her husband; Bill, daughters; Ana Maria and Madelen, step children; Jamie and Samantha (Adnan), as well as granddaughter, Ana Sofia, parents; Abraham Murcia Carvajal and Nirsa Murcia Aranzalez, sisters and brother; Judith, Gloria and Abraham.
Martha grew up in Florencia, Colombia, where she graduated from high school at Colegio los Sagrados Corazones and then pursued her career, graduating from the University of Amazon as an accountant. She then continued her education to complete 2 masters in public accounting at Libre University.
She moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 2002. She met the love of her life in 2008 and moved to La Salle, Manitoba, Canada, in 2009.
Martha will always be remembered for her infectious smile, upbeat personality, her persistence, and drive. She had a love for rock & roll as well as Son Cubano and Salsa music. Martha accomplished anything she put her mind to. In 2016, she completed her Bachelor of Business and Administration at the University of Winnipeg.
Martha was always affectionate with her Shihtzu, Ruffin over the years. Her passions included gardening, travelling, studying, and praying. She took pride in the home her and Bill created together and their many adventures while always keeping close contact with her family in Colombia.
At this time, there won’t be a service for Martha. When the time comes, we’ll have a celebration of Martha’s life. Martha will rest peacefully in Colombia.
The family thanks all for their condolences and thoughts during this difficult time.
