Martha was born in Macon, GA on November 9, 1929. She moved from Macon to Crawfordville, GA where she attended school. After school she moved to Atlanta with her mother and owned the first state licensed nursing home in Atlanta. She met her first husband, Ralph Adair and was married a year before he was killed in a plane crash in Germany. Later she met her second husband Robert Hagan and they were married till his death in 1996. Martha and Robert Hagan had only one daughter Pamela Hagan Kendrick.
Martha ran a family owned business for 18 years. Afterwards she went to work for First Union Bank / Wachovia until she retired at 80 years of age.
Martha loved traveling to the beach and just sitting by the pool drinking her famous Margaritas. She loved her cats Cody and Lovey. She loved to play cards and to bowl.
Martha will be greatly missed by her daughter and all of her friends that knew her and had the privilege of meeting her. She was a great southern lady that let you know she was serious when she said, “don’t make me get ugly”. If you heard that you knew you were in trouble.
