Reynalda "Reina"

Duran

Reynalda "Reina" Duran 85, was born in Sweetwater, Texas. As the oldest of seven children, Reina grew up with a deep sense of responsibility and strength. Her father passed away when she was still young, leaving her mother who worked tirelessly to raise her children and Reina as an older sister was like a 2nd mother to her siblings. This early hardship shaped Reina into a woman of remarkable resilience and steadfast trust in God.

Reina married Eleazar Martinez at young age, beginning a life marked by hard work, devotion and service. Eleazar worked in the construction field, and Reina contributed to the family income by working the fields of West Texas as a "boss" – picking cotton, chopping cotton, and doing seasonal labor. Her dedication took her even further, working in agricultural fields around Loveland and Greely, Colorado. Over the years she worked whenever life needed her never with fanfare, just quiet strength. Eleazar built his construction company from the ground up and Reina stepped in as the office manager ---- not because it was easy, but because Eleazar needed her. She carried every role with humility, steady hands, and that familiar willingness to do whatever it took to keep her loved ones moving. Faith became the hallmark of her life, and she attended the same church for 61 years. She endured the loss of two spouses, with Leon Duran as of recently. Enduring these struggles molded Reina into a longsuffering woman.

Reina was known for her deep care of others & family---- the kind that made people feel comfortable in her own quite ways. She accepted others no matter where they were in life. She had a gift for connecting with them right where they stood, making them feel like she knew them a long time or if not, made them feel like family. Even in her later years, she embraced Facebook as a way to influence, encourage and lift others. She was faithful and obedient to her last breath. Her life stands as a testament to what it means to trust in Jesus. She lived an example to her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all who knew her. When her time came, she was ready to go home to Heaven, confident in the promise of eternal life and the crown prepared for her.

Reina survived by her children  Eleazar Martinez Jr.and Ruth, Reynaldo Martinez and Nelly, Linda  Ann Evett and Shane, step children  Ricky Duran , Dawn Calbillo, April and Lupe Mandujano, sister Rosalia Limones, brothers Richard Lara, George Lara.
