Martha Digby Obituary
On March 20, 2022, Martha Stoughton Digby, loving wife and mother, went to be with the Lord after a valiant fight with cancer.
Marti was known for her love of God, love of her family and love of life. She was kind to everyone and could make anyone smile. She loved decorating, painting, traveling and spending time with her family and friends in the low country.
Marti was preceded in death by her parents, Bennie and Brady Stoughton. She leaves behind her loving husband, Donald Digby; her children, Cori Crane, Kate Digby (Bruce Grover), Brittany Wetherhold, Joey (Cassie) Digby and Suzy (Andy) Brummel; grandchildren, Liza Crane, Taylor Digby, Lauren Crane, JD Digby, Penelope Digby, Bahiyyih Grover, Olinga Grover and Blake Brummel; brothers, Warren (Toni) Stoughton and Thomas (Pamela) Stoughton; nieces and nephews, Lisa Stoughton, Patrick (Shannon) Stoughton, Matt (Elizabeth) Richardson, Alexandra Stoughton and Brady Stoughton, countless cousins and friends who she also considered family.
Marti and her family are ever grateful for the constant love, support and kindness from the village of friends and prayer warriors who lifted her and us up through this battle.
Marti's legacy is love, kindness and giving. To honor that, please consider donating to a charity that was important to her such as: St. Anthony's Bread Endowment, Family Services of Greensboro, Operation Smile or one that is special to you. We ask you to perform an act of kindness, to give to someone in need and share love as she did daily.
God lent us an angel and He has called her home.

Deb and I are so sorry for your loss. We have such wonderful memories of the time with you and Marti over that weekend visit to Bluffton. You have been so kind and so good a friend to me over many years. Please know that you are in my prayers and that I welcome your call if I can help in any way.

Marti and I were great friends during high school. We rode to school together every morning. She was a beautiful person inside and out. We have kept up through the years, and so saddened to know what she was going through. Sending prayers and comfort to her family she loved dearly.

I was friends with Marti in high school. And my grandparents lived next door to her mom and dad. When they passed my parents moved from Amberidge Trail to my grandparents house on Riverside Parkway. The whole Soughton family has been friends with mine for many years.In the last year learned of Marti´s challenge and it made me so sad. Prayers to her immediate family and to Warren and Tommy. If I still lived in Atlanta I would be there. Thinking of you all. Chris and Tommy Lyman. North Springs Class of 69.

Don.....Marti left way too early. But her bright and caring spirit will live in my memory. So active in all she did, and a beautiful spirit. Her time on this earth was huge and both of your participation in our Fisher Park Neighborhood showed how much you care about your home and place. I smile now as the vision of her small size and your huge presence was such a contrast. But size means nothing, it is the spirit that guides our lives that matter........Carl Myatt

From my earliest memories of Marti, and our families have been friends since our fathers were in college, she was one of the most beautiful and loving persons I have ever met. I did not talk with her much over the past few years but when I did she was always gracious, up beat and caring-she always made me smile!
