RASCON

Martha Rascon, 66, of Milliken passed away unexpectedly at her home on May 4, 2026. Born on August 13, 1959, in Praxedes, Chihuahua, Mexico, Martha was the beloved daughter of Rafael Rascon Nevarez and Epifania Espinoza. She lived between the Texas Panhandle and Colorado for many years before settling in the Johnstown- Milliken area in 1990. She relocated to Abilene, Texas, for a brief period, but returned to Milliken in 2001 where she lived the remainder of her life.

For over two decades, Martha worked at Hach, retiring in 2025. She found great joy in dancing, crocheting, and especially in gardening and tending to her beloved plants. Her green thumb and love for the outdoors brought her great peace. She also had a true passion for travel, creating lasting memories on trips to southern Mexico, Peru, and most recently, a joyful visit to Italy in March 2026.

A devoted member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Johnstown, Martha lived her faith with quiet strength and love for her family. She is survived by her children, Rafael Pantoja, Fabian Pantoja, and Franco Rascon; her grandchildren, Rafael, Yadira, Alex, and Izabella; her great-granddaughter, Amora; her mother, Epifania Espinoza; her siblings, Raul, Angel, Concepcion, Victor, and Armida; and many loving nieces and nephews.

Martha was preceded in death by her father, Rafael Rascon Nevarez.
