Martha
A warm hearted, soft spoken mother and mamaw, Martha was one of a kind. With enough spunk to take down a son twice her size, and enough Christian charity to give all she had to help others in need. With skilled hands she turned out heavenly pot roast and all the trimmings, then caressed her grandchildren with unmatched love and devotion. Her inability to drive couldn't keep her from embarking on what she called a "beautiful journey" to Arizona for her son's wedding. Her favorites were, Dinner Bell, doughnuts and coffee, the mountains, John Wayne, and living close enough to see Graceland from her house. Her sweet voice of praise will be missed by all in her church, but she now sings with her granddaughter in a better place.
