Police have identified the 69-year-old Connecticut woman who died after neighbors found her trapped beneath her car in her driveway.

Debra Martin, 69, was found just before 9 p.m. Sunday beneath her car at her Rockwell Avenue home in Bristol.

Emergency crews tried to help her, but they pronounced her dead at the scene, according to Bristol police.

Martin was a mother of three adult children and a grandmother, according to her obituary. She was remembered as a doting grandmother who kept busy with her many hobbies and activities.

Deb was a vivacious, loving, and devoted mother who absolutely adored her grandchildren. She enjoyed visiting wineries with friends, crafting, music, and attending concerts. Known for her signature leopard and zebra prints, Deb’s fun-loving spirit and unique style made her unforgettable. Although not ordinarily an animal lover, she cherished her grand-puppies deeply. Deb also loved making homemade salsa and spending time searching for treasures at tag sales.

Prospect Town Councilman Scott Martin, Debra Martin's brother, announced her death in a Facebook post.

Bristol police are investigating the circumstances of her death.

A memorial service for Martin is scheduled for Monday evening, Nov. 17, and her funeral is set for the following morning.
