Martha Black
Franklin - On Tuesday, September 3, 2019, Martha (Robbins) Black, loving wife and mother of five children, passed away at age 71.
Martha was born on August 2, 1948 in Derby, KS to Ralph and Clara Ethel (Garrett) Robbins. She grew up in Springfield, Missouri from the age of two, where she became a Licensed Practical Nurse.

Martha had a passion for God and family.
