Not sure what to say?

I participated in the group for teenagers that Martha ran back in the 70's at the Christian Church. I will always remember her smile, her warmth, and her creativity.

Martha was a dear friend from Jackson Memorial High School and we had kept in touch through the years. God bless and cherish the memories as I will.

Many fond memories growing up and spending much time at the Crowder home. One of my favorite memories are the Halloween costumes she made us. She told me she still had them when I visited with her the day Eric passed away. We attended President elect training for Rotary at the same time. Martha Crowder was a treasure.
Rest is peace !

Having only known Martha for three years, I can honestly say she was a beautiful light in my life. She was the first person to welcome me to my new home and introduce me to the town she was so proud of. She invited me to join her close circle of friends and I soon adopted her as my “mom”. We spent countless hours talking about her family of which she was so proud, reminiscing about her amazing life and sharing our love for Our Lord. She will be remembered by her friends as a shining example...

Prayers for the family

Oh dear, I am so saddened to hear of Martha's passing. But she is now dancing in heaven with Jesus, her family who preceeded her, and all the saints! To know her was to love her ~ God bless all those who knew her with a special touch of comfort. She will be sorely missed, but how blessed we are to have known her.

Mrs. Crowder was also a Cub Scout Den Mother for several years and I was fortunate to be one of her Cubs. She gave selflessly of her time. I'm proud to have known her, Mr. Crowder, Mark and Eric. This family will be missed.

To the family, my relationship with Martha has been ongoing for a long time. ABWA business association , floral etc. I listened to her build her houses, do repairs, support her church, make her cheese balls for fundraising, etc.. She was too numerous to mention in her taskings. Always, always talked about her family. Praying for you all, she will be missed by me also.

I enjoyed being in Rotary with Martha. She was a fun, and multitalented!
