Martha was a homemaker for many years, she took great pride in her home and flower gardens. She always had the most beautiful flowers even during her battle of stage 4 breast cancer, she worked hard to maintain her home and flowers on her own. She was fiercely strong and independent. Her love for her family was immense and she cherished her role as "Mawmaw" to her four grandchildren whom each had their own special bond with her. She loved to decorate her home with Christmas time being her most favorite time of the year, and because of her faith in Jesus this will no doubt be her most glorious Christmas with Him. Family meant so much to her and she spent years researching her family ancestry and documented it for generations to come. She retired from Steelcase in 2010.
