Martha Louise Brady

Martha Louise Brady, 67, passed away at her Clear Creek Care Center home in Westminster, CO on December 29, 2021.

Martha was born October 30, 1954 in Rawlins, WY the third child of Louise (Kreutzer) Herrman and Robert Herrman. At the age of 8, she moved with her family to Aurora, CO where she received her schooling and was a 1973 graduate of Aurora Central High School. On October 12, 1974, Martha married Robert John Brady and made their home in Denver. They had one child, Heather Eve Brady, born November 4, 1976. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1989. In 1991, Martha and Heather moved to Northglenn, CO to be closer to her family.

Martha began working at McDonald’s while in high school and that would continue off and on, for a total of 13 years between Aurora and Northglenn. While Heather was young, as a stay-at-home mom to help financially, Martha spent many hours weekly calling homes and scheduling ARC pickups for their discount stores. Always knowing she needed to provide for Heather and herself, in Northglenn she took on extra jobs at Taco Bell, Burger King, and was on the housekeeping staff at Castle Gardens Nursing Home. Her favorite job she would always say was at Pet City in the Northglenn Mall taking care of the puppies and birds.

Although Martha was stricken at the young age of 22 with mental illness, she enjoyed life and invariably kept a good sense of humor. Martha could always find something good about anyone she met. When sitting in the front lobby at Clear Creek Care Center, she greeted everyone who came through the doors; and if not in the lobby, she walked the halls greeting staff and residents along her route. Always so appreciative. She had a desire to keep herself healthy and would ride a stationary bike to stay active. Martha looked forward to any holiday, special occasion, or gathering where she could mingle and be with people, especially her family.

Martha was proceeded in death by her parents; and most recently, her daughter Heather, July 8, 2021. She is survived by two grandsons Jaron Tillery and James Tillery, both of Bowie, TX; her brother Robert (Kathie) Herrman, Thornton, CO; her sister Theresa (Robert) Wolber, Thornton, CO; niece Jennifer Wolber (Randall Cohen) San Diego, CA; Lisa Wolber, Milliken, CO; three Great Nephews Donovan Wolber-Vigil (Shanae Merritt), along with their children, Karsen, Charleigh, Jayden and Myah), Patrick Vigil, Isaiah Vigil all of Milliken, CO; her dearest friend of 25+ years, JoAnna Muilenburg, Northglenn, CO; two Aunts and too many cousins to mention.

You will be in our hearts forever. Memories of your jokes and laughter will live on and always bring a smile.
