Dora Greer Obituary

Dora Mae (Martinez) Greer, born 3/10/1945, 80, of Marvel, Colorado, passed on 10/14/25 at home. Dora was the youngest of nine children born to Jose D. Martinez and Eufemia Moya Martinez. Dora married Dick Seward Greer in 1973, who shared 5 children, numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren together. Dora worked several jobs from a young age and went on to spend 31 years at the Marvel post office, earning many awards for her service. Dora was an asset to her community and served in many ways. One of Dora's favorite things to do at home was tending to her flowers. Dora's first love was the Lord, then her family. Mrs. Greer is survived by her daughter, Michelle (Missy), and sons Michael (Stretch) Greer, Rodger Greer, Marlon Greer, and Paul Greer. A service will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, October 25th, at St. Columba Catholic Church in Durango. For a fuller obituary go to www.hoodmortuary.com/obituaries/dora-greer.

We met Dora when she came to religious education class at Sacred Heart church. She was always a very positive person and very friendly, and easy to get to know. What was very obvious, was her eagerness to learn, and live her faith in our Lord. She was always loving and caring of people she met and shared with. She was always very proud and eager to share about her family. when she would speak of any of them, she would get the prettiest smile on her face, and her eyes would light up. We will miss her, and my heart will always smile, when I think of her.
Rest in peace, my friend.
