Martha was a proud mother, outstanding grandmother and wonderful wife! She adored being with her sisters and friends of which she had many. She always carried a confident and positive attitude that was tremendously contagious. Martha consistently deepened relationships with her personality and stylish ways. Her great smile was always welcomed, driven by her beautiful blue eyes. We will forever carry her memory in all of our hearts.
Martha had an unwavering faith in God. Her firm belief in God and her devotion to her family supported her in her struggle through illness and ultimately gave her peace. Through this faith, her family finds comfort and peace that she is embraced in the arms of the Lord.
