Martha Christine Branch, a revered mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully in her sleep on January 9th, 2025 in her home in Concrete, Washington.
Martha was born on April 13th, 1970 in Yakima, Washington. Martha attended Mount Vernon High school, with a graduating year of 1988.
Martha had 3 beloved children. Tyler, 35; Riley, 29; and Thomas, 21; and her 2 prized grandchildren Kayla and Tyler James Jr. She is survived by her long time spouse Robert, and her 6 siblings; Debi, Ruthie, Jim, Teresa, Oscar, and Tony; and grandmother, Edna Cheney.
Martha enjoyed life in every meaning. As a young adult she enjoyed concerts, adventures, and having a good time! She treasured raising children, being involved and making memories. As she phased into becoming a grandparent and life slowed down, she enjoyed watching her grandchildren grow, watching James play sports and Kayla conquer college. She loved being in nature. There wasn’t many days you wouldn’t be able to find her outside gardening, working on a miscellaneous project, or down at the river hunting for agate rocks.
Martha will be fiercely missed. Please join us in her Celebration of life Friday, January 24th from 2:30 - 5:30 pm at Concrete Community Center in Concrete, WA.
