I worked as a nursing supervisor at Good Samaritan/ Cardinal Cushing Hospital and worked with Maryha. She was a loyal and dedicated employee,always willing to go the extra mile. We talked frequently of our husbands and children. She was most proud of hers. I'm sure you have fond memories of her that will carry you during this sad time

To Martha's family, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Martha on 2c for a period of time, then would float on occasion after that when I transferred upstairs. She was such a nice, caring person, a hard worker and a pleasure to work with. I am very sorry for your loss.
