Her father, Ascencion Martinez worked in the fields and in irrigation. Then he had a Barber Shop in Casa Blanca for many years. The death of her mother when she was nine years old had a great impact on her life. At the age of 16 years, she became responsible for running the house and caring for her father and three brothers living at home. She never attended High School but had opportunities by The Economic Opportunity Board and took Extension courses at UCR. At 16 years old she ran the Casa Blanca Post Office while the postmistress was on maternity leave. She also worked in area packing houses, a local grocery store, and a boutique. She went to work for the EOB in the early 1960s until it was phased out in 1972. Then she went to work for Riverside County the following year. Simona has served on many committees in her community, where she has been recognized and honored for her outstanding services. To this day she still volunteers and feels her community is part of her.
