Martha took great pride in living in Glenns Ferry and has served on several local boards in her life. One that was dear to her heart was the Glenns Ferry Library Board, which she served for 36 years. Another organization that was important to Martha was her sorority, Beta Sigma Phi, where she was a member for over 50 years. She held several positions over the 50 years and in 2000 was honored by her Chapter and Beta Sigma Phi with the Golden Circle Award. Outside of all of her Beta Sigma Phi accomplishments the friendships she made with her sorority sisters, were the most important.
