Mary Martínez, mother of content creators Kimberly Loaiza and Steff Loaiza, passed away on June 17, 2026, in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, after being hospitalized for several months due to a complex illness that began as what appeared to be the flu and ultimately led to severe medical complications.
The news was first reported by entertainment journalist Felipe Osuna, who, based on information obtained from a source in the healthcare sector in Mazatlán, confirmed the death of the influencers’ mother. Subsequently, various local media outlets picked up the story and revealed more details about the delicate health condition she faced during the last months of her life.
An infection that quickly became complicated
According to information reported by local media, Mary Martínez’s illness began with symptoms typical of a respiratory infection. However, within a few days, her condition began to deteriorate significantly.
Her condition progressed to the point where internal abscesses developed, a situation that forced the doctors to perform several surgeries in an attempt to control the infection. Despite the medical staff’s efforts, her complications continued to worsen, and she had to remain in intensive care for an extended period.
According to a report published by El Sol de Mazatlán, the infections led to sepsis and subsequently caused multiple organ failure, complications that ultimately proved irreversible.
Medical reports indicate that Mary Martínez also had diabetes, a condition that significantly influenced the progression of her illness.
Specialists explained that this condition hindered her recovery from the surgeries and contributed to the spread of the infection, which further complicated her health condition. For much of her hospitalization, she remained intubated and under strict medical supervision while receiving specialized treatments to combat recurring infections.
Finally, a source consulted by Felipe Osuna confirmed that the cause of death was related to complications arising from a generalized infection, compounded by the effects of diabetes.
A family faced financial hardship
In addition to the complicated medical situation, the family had to cope with the high costs associated with the hospitalization.
During the months that Mary Martínez was hospitalized, her family publicly requested financial assistance to cover part of the hospital expenses, as her treatment involved multiple surgeries, round-the-clock care in the intensive care unit, and various specialized procedures.
The petition sparked expressions of solidarity from fans of Kimberly Loaiza and Steff Loaiza, as well as members of the online community, who expressed their support throughout the process.
After his death was confirmed, Felipe Osuna announced that the wake would be held that same night, June 17, at a funeral home in Mazatlán.
However, the journalist noted that the family requested absolute discretion regarding the location where the funeral services would be held. On social media, he explained that he would not reveal the location of the wake as a way of respecting the wishes of the family, who decided to say goodbye to Mary Martínez in a completely private setting, away from media attention.
Kimberly and Steff Loaiza are keeping quiet
As of the time this information was published, neither Kimberly Loaiza nor Steff Loaiza had issued any statement or public message regarding their mother’s death.
Their silence has caught the attention of their millions of followers, as both content creators usually share various aspects of their daily and family lives on social media. However, on this occasion, they have chosen to remain completely private as they mourn the loss of Mary Martínez.
The death of the influencers’ mother marks the end of a long and difficult battle with an illness that began as what appeared to be a respiratory infection but ultimately led to serious complications that, despite medical efforts, could not be overcome.
