Lela Martin Obituary
September 5, 1947 – October 26, 2025
Lela Kay Martin (Birdsong) went home to be with our Heavenly Father on 10/26/25 after a long battle with Cancer.
She and her husband David Martin were married 62 years and had two daughters Sandy Reed (husband Mark) and Cindi Mundschau (husband Mike). Four grandchildren Veronica, Matthew, Breanna and Anthony. Four great-grandchildren Landen, Brendan, Grayson and Raegan.
Lela always put her family first and showed tremendous strength and determination in everything she did. Caliente, CA was where she and her sister Claudia Burk spent most of their childhood. The lives that Lela touched with her smile and heart for Jesus will leave a beautiful legacy for a long time.
The family would like to thank Bristol Hospice for the care and support they gave.
