Jaden Elizabeth Martinson

JADEN ELIZABETH MARTINSON Jaden Elizabeth Martinson, age 20, of Dittmer, Missouri, was born on March 14, 2004, in Guatemala. She went home to be with Jesus, her Lord and Savior, on February 16, 2025, after being in a tragic car accident. Jaden was a passionate follower of Christ who was strong-willed and always stood up for her morals and convictions. She had such a strong conviction for her family and friends that didn’t know Jesus and was not afraid to share her faith with them. Jaden accepted Christ as her personal Savior and was baptized on Sept 2, 2019. She graduated from high school in 2022 and from phlebotomy school in 2024. She was just going to begin school to become an EMT as her desire was to help save lives. Little did she know, that she would be saving multiple lives this week as she was an organ donor and blessed many with the gift of life. She was fiercely loyal to her family and friends. We will always remember her smile, caring personality, sense of humor, and quick wit. Her presence in our lives will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her parents, Alan and Linda Martinson of Dittmer, MO, her siblings, Spencer Martinson, Phoenix, AZ; Chase Martinson, St Louis, MO; Kara Martinson; Aubreigh Barker (Dustin); Caedmon Martinson; her twin sister, Jenna Martinson; and Josiah Martinson, Dittmer, MO; her nephew, Sage Martinson and niece, Ava Barker.
