On Tuesday afternoon, October 3, 2023, Martha Gamble was received into the loving arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ. Martha reflected that love to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren through her warm and generous spirit, her constant smile and never-complaining attitude.
Her love of music was a blessing to all as was reflected in her many years singing alto in her East Ridge Presbyterian Church choir. She was a graduate of the University of Chattanooga, where she met her husband, Straley Gamble. They were blessed with a 45-year marriage.
Along with the joy of raising her three children, she also spent time working as a medical technologist with a Chattanooga doctor’s group. In her later years, she was blessed to spend many hours with her good friend Esther Boyd doing detailed pin-tucks on GPS uniforms.
She was preceded in death by her husband Straley Gamble, brother, Charles Coile and sister Carolyn Kreis.
She is survived by her three children, Straley (Teresa) Gamble of Mt. Juliet, TN, Joyce (David) Caldwell of Bartlett, TN and Margaret (David) Winters of McDonald, TN; six grandchildren, Josh (Marie) Gamble, John (Sheena) Gamble, Ben Winters, John David (Callie) Caldwell, Rebekah (Junius) Johnson and Elizabeth (Joseph) Ingram; 15 great-grandchildren, Ford, Clara, Sophie, Christopher, Emma Kate, Micah, Maddox, Vivian, Seraphina, Finn, Reed, Charlotte, Seamus, Henry and Chenoa.
The family would like to extend sincere thanks to all of her caregivers at Morning Pointe on Shallowford Road who loved her well and to Hearth Hospice for their support.
Services will be at 1 PM Saturday at the East Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, 404 South Moore Road, East Ridge, TN. Visitation will begin at 11 AM Saturday at the funeral home. Burial will be in Lakewood Memory Gardens, East.
