Martha Baldridge Obituary
MONETTE - Martha Baldridge, 94, passed away Saturday, Jan. 21, 2023, at the Flo and Phil Jones Hospice House. She was born May 30, 1928, in Macey to the late John and Lizzie Hout.
She was a member of the Monette United Methodist Church for many years. She was an active member of UMW, and after her husband died, she filled in as a liturgist till her health started failing.
She loved and taught school for 40 years. Once a week she and several of her church friends sent birthday, congratulation, get well, and other cards to everyone that was brought to their attention.
Her passion was her husband of 63 years. They traveled and attended as many bluegrass shows and gatherings as they could.
Come October they would drive down to spend winters in their second home located in Lehigh Acres, Fla. While Devane fished, she would read or go antique shopping with friends and family. She loved nothing more than being with family and friends. You hardly ever saw her without a smile and kind words on her lips. God truly blessed us with this lovely woman.
She is survived by her daughter, Linda Matthews; six grandchildren, Warren Matthews, Ashley Alveraz (Brad), Becky Grady (Greg), Jackie Matthews, Allison Jordan (C.D.) and Bo Adams (Amber); son-in-law, Harry Adams Jr.; daughter-in-law, Patsy Bedford; 16 wonderful great-grandchildren; and five beautiful great-great-grandchildren.
In addition to her husband, Devane Baldridge, Martha was preceded in death by a daughter, Patricia Adams, a son, Mitch Baldridge, a granddaughter, Lela Adams Ashley, a son-in-law, Phillip Matthews, and three brothers.
She will forever be missed by her family and friends. A remembrance will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday at Monette United Methodist Church with the Revs. Jerry Reed and Everett Isom officiating. Interment will follow in Macey Cemetery under the direction of Gregg Funeral Home.
Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until time of service at the church.
