"It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my beautiful sister, Dolly," she began.
According to Cooper, her sibling had "the brightest personality."
"She could light up any room with her laughter, her kindness, and her loving spirit. She had a way of making everyone feel special, and her warmth will stay with us forever," she said.
"While our hearts are broken here, I find comfort in knowing she is now reunited with our dad in heaven. I can only imagine the joy of that reunion," she added. "Rest peacefully, Dolly. You will always be loved, always be missed, and never forgotten."
Cooper did not reveal Martinez's cause of death.
