On Tuesday our office team, joined with a few friends and family came together in a spirit of remembrance and gratitude to honor Patsy Martinez with the dedication of a memorial tile wall at Cracker Trail Elementary erected in her memory. Each tile, lovingly painted by Patsy’s friends, family, and our CTE community is a small but powerful symbol of the memories, love, and honor we hold for her. This artwork will remain as a testament to Patsy's unwavering dedication to our students, staff, and the entire community.
Our principal, Mr. K addressed the small crowd with a few memories: "Patsy was the heart of Cracker Trail Elementary, touching the lives of everyone who walked through our doors. Her laughter, prayers, and love were always given with 110%—a true reflection of her Kentucky roots. The artwork on this wall beautifully captures the qualities we admired most in her."
CTE extends our deepest thanks to all who made this memorial possible. Special recognition goes to Heather Mellow for designing Patsy’s special tile, Kristine Sebring & Laura Rose for leading this heartfelt project, and Kent Tile for bringing it to life. Most importantly, thank you to the Martinez family for sharing Patsy with all of us.
The next time you visit our office, know that it stands as a beacon of Patsy’s kindness and compassion. Her legacy will indefinitely inspire us all, and her love will forever remain in our hearts. #CTEFamily #InLovingMemory #PatsyMartinez
