I had the pleasure of meeting Martha when her great niece; Paula,  and I visited her in the summer of 2016. I had talked to her so many times on the phone and was anxious to finally meet her.  She was a wonderful person. She instantly made me feel like part of her family.  I loved just spending time with her and hearing all the stories about her family. She loved her family very much. Once she called me her angel, and now I have another angel in heaven watching over me. God Bless and I love you Aunt Martha……love your angel

So sorry for this saddening loss. I’ve always remembered Aunt Martha as a sweet, kind, and loving woman. May she Rest In Peace. 💙

I will never forget all the fun times spent with Aunt Martha. I grew up looking forward to our annual trips to Georgia or waiting for Uncle Joe and Aunt Martha to arrive in Uniontown. Aunt Martha not only was good and kind and generous to me but she followed that with my children.....from books to beanie babies....she never forgot them. I loved all the time I spent with Aunt Martha and all the love and support she always gave to me. I am glad I was able to visit with her a few summers ago after my mom passed. She felt like one of the last links I had to my mom and I find comfort in knowing that she is back with my mom!!!!  Homemade milkshakes..  playing cards....aggitating Uncle Joe lol....I remember it and will always hold all those memories close in my heart.....and there  are SO many.  I love you sweet  Aunt Martha....keep the family in line until we meet again........ Paula Jean xo. 

Mom loved her weekly hair appointments at G Ressmeyer salon and then Lunch at Cracker Barrel.  Mom grew to know the staff there and one of the employees even helped to care for her when mom
First needed assistance.  She enjoyed watching the food network, holding the dogs brought over from Tammy Woodward. 
Mom was especially proud of her Grandchildren and loved children in general.  If you considered yourself a friend of Mom you would know how
Loyal she was to her friends and family.  She believed in the Lord Jesus Christ.   I rest in the knowledge she is with my father Joe, my son Joseph, and all her siblings and family that has pasted before her.
