Martha SEVERYN Obituary

SEVERYN, Martha (LeFevre) passed away on September 6, 2017 at the age of 93. Born and raised in Akron, Ohio, she was a graduate of Akron U and worked there as a librarian. She and her husband "Hank" Severyn (also passed away) married in 1950 and moved to Tucson in 1952. Martha continued to work as a librarian at the U of A and then took on her most challenging job, raising their three children, Chris, Carol and Eric. She was always the smartest person in the room; classy, pragmatic, optimistic and immune to worry. She inspired everyone she met and will be remembered for her unique sense of humor and contagious laugh. You did a great job Mom and we miss you so much, now and always. Martha loved her cats so in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Hermitage No Kill Cat Shelter.

Martha How's the fishing. Have you taught Omar Shariff how bridge is really played. I sure miss you but not your ham loaf. And tell Henry that I think of him every time I pass his office on Broadway, Has he been able to get any food from Leruas delivered?

Chris, Carol and Eric we are saddened by your loss. Martha was one of the kindest, most warm hearted people with a great sense of humor. She will be missed by many people but most of all the people who knew her best. May she rest in peace.

To Martha's children, Chris Carol, and Eric~~I am so sorry for your Mother's passing. I will miss her and our time together each week at the salon, where we shared stories of family and everyday life, and especially her beloved cats. It was special to see the devotion of her children. She touched me with just how she was. I am very grateful for her. With love and heartfelt sympathy to all, Susie Strayer

If the world had more wonderful, calm, caring and laid-back people like you, Martha, it would be a far better place. You, Hank and the kids were a big part of our young lives and a very special person. May you rest in peace. With love.

To the family and friends of Mrs. Martha L. Severyn,I'm so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. But know that you can trust in God in times like these. I've found this verse to be of comfort at Psalms the 34th chapter the 18th verse.

Lovely Martha That guy whose little fishing trawler sits at Fisherman's wharf must have envisioned you before he named it. Make sure you talk to St. Peter or whoever is giving out those IPhone 10"s to give you yours so we can keep in touch. When you start playing bridge again see if you can find Omar Sharif for a partner. There are only two things I regret about you. One was giving you those battery powered hedge clippers and the other was tasting your ham loaf. We won't have our traditional Christmas morning with you but I know you will be watching over us. I'll make sure nobody goes out of turn in opening their presents. I love you Martha and I wish you smooth trawling. Give Henry a hug and kiss for me.
