She attended countless sports matches of her children and grandchildren. And never missed a Graceville High Class of ’44 reunion.

She loved to travel. She and her husband, LC, traveled with their friend group on many excursions. Martha loved meeting new friends because she loved people. She had a warm, sunny smile and sparkling blue eyes that lit up the room. She often joined outreach opportunities within her church.
