Martha grew up in High Point, North Carolina, and was so proud of her R.N. degree. Martha was a woman of God. Her love of people and nurturing spirit came through during her 42 year nursing career. She made a lasting impact on the countless lives she helped while working at Sparrow Hospital. Martha’s Southern charm and charismatic personality made her someone you wanted to be around. Her Southern accent was always a large part of who she was. She was so proud of her Southern roots and her family.

She enjoyed dancing, gardening and travel, as well as reading and playing card and board games.
