Martha Taylor "Buttercup" McGuirk

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I worked with Martha around 20 years @ JIRDC. I will miss my dear sweet friend. She was a very special lady.

She was one of the very best I´ve ever known. I loved her and I will miss her.

Robin and I extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to Buttercup´s family. She was a wonderful woman who maintained a positive outlook in the face of life´s many challenges. I have many fond memories of her and her children in their early years. I will miss her and am sorry we didn´t get to see her before she entered eternity.

Miss Martha, as she asked us to call her, also taught at Mull School. I was lucky to have been in her class and have many fond memories. Thank you, Miss Martha!

Martha was a delight to know. I enjoyed visiting with her and hearing stories about her cats. I appreciated Martha's sense of humor and unique personality. She was indeed a free spirit. It is a tribute to her family that she was able to live independently, as she wanted to, in her home, past her 90th birthday. Martha and I shared one particular cat named Dinah. Dinah gave birth under a neighbor's house in 2008. Like Martha, Dinah was a free spirit. Upon weaning her kittens, Dinah...

She was a sweet lady whom I will remember her fondly. She made people feel welcome and that beautiful smile
