She was the loving and proud mother of three children, Terri, Michelle and Randy, who blessed her with six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. She, also, loved her sweet little dog, Baby. Her life revolved around her family. Martha was happiest when all her family was together; she always made holidays special. She loved flowers and a pretty yard; she and Ron worked tirelessly together to accomplish a yard they were proud of. Martha was quiet and soft spoken but she loved people, made friends easily and was willing to help anyone. Martha was the "go to" person that her family knew they could count on when they needed someone to lean on for whatever reason, brothers and sisters included. You knew she was a person of strong faith by the way she lived. She loved the Lord, her church family, her many friends and being a member of Calvary Baptist Church.
