Born in Oxford, NC, Mrs. Martin lived most of her life in Raleigh. She graduated from J.F. Webb High School in Oxford and attended Hardbarger Business College. She worked in furniture sales most of her life. She enjoyed beach music, interior decorating and, most of all, spending time at home with her family—especially her grandchildren.
Mrs. Martin was preceded in death by her husband of 45 years, Henry Nesbit Martin, Jr. She is survived by her two sons, Brian and Chad Martin, both of Raleigh; her daughter-in-law Meredith; her two grandchildren, Walker and Lela; and several nieces and nephews.
Family will receive visitors at Mitchell Funeral Home, 7209 Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, on Sunday, September 25th from 2 to 4pm. Mrs. Martin will be laid to rest at Raleigh Memorial Park the following day at 2pm.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Red Cross.
Mary Ann was an amazing wife, mother, and grandmother. She will be in our hearts always.
