September Dains Brown and Mancel Dains were welcomed into the world after they moved to California in 1962. Sonoma was the longtime home to Marty and her husband, Luis Cabello.

For the rest of her life she helped the Hispanic community with legal issues and helped with all aspects of becoming acclimated to life in Sonoma, organizing help for the handicapped was something in which she took great joy.

She was a very warm and caring woman who loved her family, children and helping the community. Those who knew her will all miss her smile, laughter, good humored and endearing stories. They will all miss her regular and lengthy phone calls. She was always eager to talk to those who called. The times spent with family and friends, whether just sitting around talking or enjoying games of dominoes and cards are some of their most cherished memories.
