It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Martha "Marty" Benjamin on March 25, 2025, at the age of 74. Martha was born on January 16, 1951, in Sewickley, PA.
Martha graduated from San Pasqual High School. She met the love of her life and beloved husband, Clarence "Benny" Benjamin, of 35 years.
