Martha Wilton Durst

I Met Martha at the Visiting Nurse Association over 20 years ago. She was a firecracker and smart as a whip. She could talk to any Dr. tactfully but with authority even in the day when nurses "never questioned a Dr" I live in Spain now and often skyped with her and other retired nurses from here. She raised 2 phenomenal kids and loved them and her grandkids to the moon. I'll always miss her tenacity, advice, and her great friendship. She was one of a kind.

My mother, Audrey Lynn Council Fawcett, and Martha (Marty to us) met in nursing school and their friendship spanned all the decades of their lives and the hundreds of miles that physically separated them. My mother treasured their friendship. Martha was a loving and true friend who shared with my mother a love of learning, a positive outlook, and a zest for life. She loved her family deeply. I personally am so grateful to have known her and will miss her.
