Susan M. Martinez

April 20, 1942 — February 8, 2025

Madison

Susan M. Martinez passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, February 8, 2025. She was born on April 20, 1942 in Madison to Bernard and Lucille (Fiscus) Hoven. She was a graduate of Madison Central. Susan dedicated many years as a civilian employee for the Air Force at Truax Field and later as an employee for the State of Wisconsin. 

Susan was known for her honesty, organization, and punctuality. You could always count on her for an opinion, and she always kept her word. She was mentally sharp and physically able right up until the moments before her death. She was working in her yard that morning, then made herself lunch at 11 am, then laid down just after lunch, and she had passed away by 1 pm. 

Susan is survived by her sons Michael and Gregory; her nephew William Hoven; and niece Sarah Strassberger. 

She was preceded in death by her two brothers Dennis and Gerald Hoven.
