Chloe Noelle Martinez, 16
Chloe was born on February 22, 1998 in Durango, Colorado. Since that day she was the light of everyone’s life and will continue to be so through memories we all shared with her. Chloe was loved by everyone that met her and always had a smile or hug to give. Her heart was enormous and her love was unconditional. She will be forever missed and always remembered.
Chloe had aspirations to one day become a pediatric nurse and give back to children. She had close relationships with her younger brothers, and her young cousins that cultivated her love to help young children. She is thought of now as being in the most beautiful forest with children by her side, playing, laughing and being at peace.
Chloe was a talented person and excelled in dance which she pursued since she was 4. She studied at Springfield School of Dance and Motion Playlist Studio. Photography was also a special talent and was seen through her many “selfie’s” which are cherished. She attended Springfield and Nixa schools and attended high school at Parkview H.S. in Springfield and Northwest H.S. in Omaha, Nebraska.
Chloe left this world on December 2nd, 2014. She is survived and loved by her mother Amber Hopper, stepfather Matt Hopper, father Jason Martinez, stepmother Marilyn Martinez, brothers Ethan Hopper and Marco Martinez, grandparents Kathy and Larry Rigger, Terri Martinez, Rick Gallagos, Doro and Marie Martinez, aunts and uncles Elizabeth and Ben Wheeler, Tara Rigger and Allen Gibson, cousins Kesler and Surelle Gibson, great grandparents Don and Mary Lou Ousley, Jim Rigger, Joe Martinez, and a large extended family and countless friends. She was loved by her special friends Kambria, Amber, Taylor, Alannah, Anna Marie, and Hunter.
