Sergia Acosta and Ana Maria Martinez

Sergia Acosta, 76 and her daughter, Ana Maria Martinez, 58 both of Worcester were taken from us on Saturday, August 24, 2024.

Sergia was born on November 6, 1947 in Moca, Dominican Republic to the late Gregorio Acosta and Maria Josefa Ruiz. Ana Maria was born on May 23, 1966 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic to Sergia and the late Jose Martinez. Sergia and Ana both grew up in the Dominican Republic coming to Massachusetts many years ago settling in Worcester. Sergia worked as a tailor for many years and Ana worked as a personal care assistant for Tempus Unlimited and was recently taking care of her mother full-time.
