Martha Wiencek Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 27, 2019.

Martha Ann Bush Wiencek passed away on Tuesday, November 26th at her home in Raleigh, North Carolina at the age of 78 after battling lung cancer. Martha was born in Boaz, AL, raised in Gadsden, AL and graduated Gadsden High School in 1959. She then loaded up her MG and moved to Coca Beach, Florida to work for Brown Engineering at the newly-constructed space center at Cape Canaveral. Martha met Pete at the Mousetrap and were a loving couple for over 50 years. After becoming a mom of two sons and relocating to Winston-Salem, NC, Martha continued her adventures as a tour guide at Old Salem, a Kelly Girl (temp staffing), an author, a business owner (The Hobby Corner), a baker, a leader, and a wonderful Grandmother. She was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, Peter Wiencek. Martha is survived by her sons Mark (Donna) Wiencek, Anthony (Jill) Wiencek, Granddaughter Addison and Grandson Anderson, Sister Becky Bush Grant, and Brothers William Bush and Michael Bush and her many nieces and nephews and cousins. Martha has been an inspiration to countless family members, neighbors and friends throughout her long life in Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida. We will remember the fun and the laughter with her Red Hatters, her golfing and bridge buddies, and even strangers that met her only once. We will always carry her wisdom in our minds and her memory in our hearts.

Service arrangements will be determined at a later date as she will be interned with her husband at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida.

Pete will be so glad to see her. Although I did not meet her for many years after she married Pete, I knew Pete since we met at Ft. Monroe, VA when we were seniors in high school. She was a very special person, and the world is both a better place for her being in it, and a sadder place now that she has gone.
