May 2024 · 2 minute read

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our daughter, Mary Joanne “MAYA” Martin, 21, of Gastonia, NC. Maya passed away on March 03, 2023.

We want her to be remembered as a loving and responsible daughter, a caring fun-loving sister, and a thoughtful friend… and an awesome saxophone player… she loved playing so much!!  Born on March 29, 2001 in Dubai, UAE, Maya filled our lives with love from the moment she came into the world.

The Martin family stayed in Dubai and the Philippines until relocating in the United States in 2007. Maya attended Highland School of Technology High School and went on to attend the University of Alabama, pursuing her Masters degree after graduating Summa cum Laude with her Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Maya’s biggest passion in life was being outdoors, seeing the world, being with family, friends, and music. An avid alto saxophone player, she spent countless hours perfecting her ability. Maya played in the Million Dollar Marching Band and the University Band.

When Maya wasn’t playing the saxophone, she could be found  working at internships at GE and PAR systems;  playing her ukulele; being with her sister Mayeth; taking care of her younger siblings; being outdoors at the beach or skiing or ziplining or riding rollercoasters; traveling to the Philippines or Canada or Spain; and enjoying life with her family friends.
