"Marty" as most people knew her, had a love and trust for Jesus that was undeniable. And when she said she was praying for you, she meant it. We found 3 pages with over 500 names on it. Marty was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great great-grandmother, sister & friend. She was a lifetime member of Delta Church of the Nazarene where she held the position of secretary for many years. She also played the guitar for Chapel Services for Delta Christian Academy. Marty helped to form the "You Tell 2 Coffee House" held at the Delta Nazarene Church on Saturday nights for 20 years.
