Martha was a loving wife and mother. She was independent and strong-willed. She was a hard-working woman employed by several companies in her lifetime, most notably Great Lakes Mortgage Corporation and Northern Indiana Insurance Agency. Martha was a dedicated and longtime member of First United Methodist Church of Hammond. Her heart for service extended to all areas of the church, especially treasurer of United Methodist Women's organization.
