Carmen Margarita Colon passed away peacefully in Mico, Texas on Thursday, January 6, 2022 at the age of 71. She was born on November 23, 1950 in Arecibo, Puerto Rico to Heriberto Morales and Carmen Margarita Maria Cardona. She moved to Pennsylvania as a child where she was raised by her mother and adoptive father, Samuel P. Miller Sr.

Carmen was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, community volunteer, and friend who had a passion for life. Carmen is the biological mother to five children; however, many people considered Carmen their surrogate mom. Carmen believed family was everything. She cared deeply and always provided support and love. Time spent with her family and friends always brought her great joy. Not to mention the occasional games of Farkle, Rummy, Chicken Foot, and Aggravation brought out her well-known, competitive nature. Carmen loved to travel and got to see many countries around the world.

Preceded in death is her mother, and grandson, Joseph Martinez Jr. Carmen is survived by her husband of 32 years, Raul of Mico, TX. She is also survived by her adoptive father, Samuel P. Miller Sr. of New Ringgold, PA; her children, Joseph L. Martinez (Kirstin) of Kenosha, WI, Francisco Z. Martinez (Tami) of Sodus, NY, Adrian Martinez of Kenosha, WI, Antonio Martinez (Jacqueline) of Chester, VA, Melissa M. Thompson (Chad) of Mico, TX; her grandchildren, Amanda A. McKellips (Kyle), Antonio R. Martinez, Miguel S. Martinez (Samantha), Alyssa C. Martinez, Lucas Borowski, Thomas Bornhofer, Valerie Lighthart, Brandon Martinez, Francisco G. Martinez, Anthony Domenich, James R. Thompson; her great-grandchildren, Caden McKellips, Ghin Martinez, Kenna McKellips, Vahla McKellips, Connor McKellips; and siblings, James L.
