Martha was a strong, independent, loving woman of God. Martha was famous for her homemade tamales. She enjoyed cooking as well as other hobbies, these included; singing, dancing, camping, spending time with family and, most importantly, spending time with her grandkids and great-grandkids.

Martha was unique, she left an imprint on everyone who came into her life. When you were with her, there was never a dull moment. She loved to joke, enjoyed life, she had a certain energy. In her younger years, you know, Marty loved to party.
