Martha Magee Obituary
Martha enjoyed fishing trips with "Family" and trips to the Casinos with dear friends. She loved Merle Haggard and met Gene Watson in person twice in Chocowinity, North Carolina. Additionally, she received two personalized autographed pictures and a lifetime of memories. Elvis was a huge influence, and the basement was turned into a museum of collectibles and memorabilia.
She loved to travel to visit her grandchildren (Military Brats). Some of her destinations included Jacksonville, NC; Richlands, NC; Albany, GA; Rock Island, IL; & Okinawa, Japan. She had an extensive collection of Cardinals and a myriad of figurines, antiques and personal gifts from friends and family.
Martha is survived by her children: Mathew E (Tamara) Kreger and Luke J. (Jorie) Kreger, and Jeffrey (Elizabeth) Johnson; grandchildren: Kyle M. (Rebecca) Kreger, Austin J. (Kaitlyn) Kreger, Trevor T. (Meaghan) Kreger, and Colton Kreger; three great grandchildren; sisters-in-law Delores Nordeng, Ruth Nordeng, Lucy Nordeng, Jill Nordeng,; nephew: David Nordeng, Jr; nieces: Julina (Troy Derke) Fraunfelder, Heidi (Chad) Fink, Pam (Robert) Helling, Tammy (Susan) Eddy, Ryan (Angelina) Helling, and Missy Helling; great nieces and nephews; and other family friends. She was preceded in death by her parents Oscar and Hannah; husband John; and brothers: George, Oscar 'Joe' (Marilyn), Charles (Shirley), John, James, and David Sr.
Funeral service will be 11:00 AM on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025, at the APFEL WOLFE FUNERAL HOME, 21 S. Austin Rd, Janesville. Visitation will be from 9:30 AM to time of service at the FUNERAL HOME.
Finally, I would like to recognize a man who truly earns the Title of Hero Mr. Sonny Pierce. Without Sonny in our lives my mom's quality of life would have been much different. Sonny really helped my mom with all her day-to-day functions. His dedication to my mom was unparalleled and he was always there for her needs and wants. Thank you, Sonny, for all the loving years you gave my mom and the kindness you showed to everyone who you encountered.
