Mary Helen was born at the Brickyard in Elgin, Texas to Cecilio and Maria Martinez on August 18, 1935. Fletcher Ramirez Jr. was lucky enough to catch Mary Helen’s eye and they were blessed to spend 62 years in a loving and caring marriage until her last second in life. She was a wonderful mother to her children. Mary Helen took so much pride in her Eleven Grandchildren, Twelve Great-Grandchildren, and her only Great-Great-Grandson.
