Rebecca was born on March 9, 1945, in Marquez, NM, to Eliseo and Lina (Baca) Martinez, both of whom came from ranching families.

On November 10, 1960, Rebecca married Raymond Lee Trueblood in El Mirage, AZ. They had five children together. The family moved to Artesia in 1978. The couple was married for 52 years until Raymond passed away in 2012.

She loved her family deeply and was very involved in the lives of her children and grandchildren. She was always willing to make sacrifices to help her family. She loved loading her grandkids into her van every chance she got-whether it was just for a burger or a trip to the park.

Survivors include daughters Ruby Najar and husband Phillip, Rebecca Gutierrez and husband Sammy, and son-in-law Richard Galvan, all of Artesia, NM; sons Robert Trueblood and wife Jacque, and Raymond Roy Trueblood of Hope, NM; sister Eloisa Martinez of Arizona; 13 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren, and 9 great-great-grandchildren.
