Adelina (Martinez) Gomez, beloved matriarch, passed away peacefully surrounded by her children on January 11, 2026 at the age of 86. Fondly known as Lina, she was born on August 10, 1939, in Beeville to Derlin and Adela Martinez. A graduate of A.C. Jones High School (Class of 1958), she married her high school sweetheart, Jose Arturo “Art” Gomez, on August 31, 1958.

A devoted member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Lina lived a life rooted in faith, joy, and love for family. She dedicated 20 years to the Bee Community Action Agency/Headstart Program working in the transportation department before retiring.
