Not sure what to say?

I will always remember Martha's kindness. Every time I attended a Misericordia reunion, I was one of her many classmates and friends who enjoyed time with her.

Heaven will never be the same with cousins martha and Maurita together. I was blessed to have them both in my life. Misericordia produced the best of the valiant women...marlyn zlotek..class of 1959

She was one of the kindest people I have known, I made her my adopted aunt in 1969

Sr. Martha was an INCREDIBLE mentor to me in my role as Activities Director at College Misericordia. Always kind, but firm with integrity, she guided me and gave me much to live up to. The engraving on her ring that read "His will be done" seemed to guide her in all she did, and that truly made a deep impact on me. She carried herself with such grace, joy, and dignity and I will forever be grateful to have had her in my life. I will miss you Sr. Martha <3

The world has lost an amazing person, we have lost a dear friend. You have done so much for so many. Sister Martha, may you Rest In Peace in the arms of the Lord.

Martha was a kind and generous person and a devoted Sister of Mercy her entire life. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
