Martha Watts Plumb Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 11, 2016.
WATTS PLUMB, Martha (Ann Hall) left us on Wednesday, May 11, 2016. She was born in the state of Georgia to the late Norvell and Bertie Hall (aka Bertie Girvan) on Jan. 3, 1934. She had a beloved sister, Barbara (Bob-bie) Sue Fowler, and brother, Robert Hall (whom both passed too soon and Martha dearly missed). By 1940 her family had moved to Ft. Lauderdale. There, she attended Ft. Lauderdale High School, where she loved swim-ming, diving, water ballet, and spending time with her friends at the local beach hangouts. Not long after high school she married Tom Watts, moved to Gainesville, then Tampa, while working and raising three much loved sons. She worked as an executive assistant in the education field throughout most of her life. She retired early, began playing tennis and enjoyed painting and traveling. After her husband, Tom passed away in 2004, a couple of years later she reconnected and married a high school friend, Glenn Plumb. They spent their time togeth-er, loving and living happily, with winters in Tampa and sum-mers in Rapid City, SD. She is survived by her husband, Glenn Plumb; her three sons and family, Neal Watts with Kimberley Eszlinger, Steven Watts with his wife, Marcia Watkins, and Bob- by Watts with his wife, Julie; all the grandchildren, Erin and Taylor Watts (and their mother Donna Milette), Justin and TJ Watts, and Marilyn Watts. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Thursday, May 19 at 4 pm, with a service to follow at 5 pm, at Brewer and Sons Funeral Home-Tampa Chapel, 3328 S. Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, 33629. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contri-butions be made to the Alzheimer's Association. Condolences may be shared with the family at www.brewerfuneral.com

Dear Glenn and family,
You have my thoughts and lots of prayers at this time. I didn't realize that you were in this area. Take each day and remember the good things. That's the only way I survived the death of Chuck my husband of 43 1/2 years. Carole "Farley" class of '55

My deepest sympathy to Martha's family. I know this is a difficult time, and I also trust that the wealth of wonderful memories you have will begin to ease the pain of loss and will once again bring your smiles back. I worked with Martha for a couple of years at Hillsborough Community College. She was such a delight, and while she was always classy and professional I often saw a mischievous nature in her. I will never forget that the impeccably dressed Martha wore fluffy bunny slippers on her last day of work! She was a gem; may she rest in peace now, and may you always be comforted by the love she had for her family.

Martha was such a wonderful person - always kind, funny, and supportive. She was my co-worker for a number of years, and we remained friends after she retired. My heart goes out to her family.

In high school I admired Martha Sue so much and was lucky enough to develop a close friendship with her through sharing our cheer leading for the Flying L's. We picked up on that friendship later in life and enjoyed many happy times together with our gang of friends and loved ones from high school. We've been missing her for the past few years and will miss her even more until we meet again.

The tide moves away, but leaves behind, bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land;
The music stops, and yet it echo's on in sweet refrains.
For every joy that passes, Something beautiful remains.

she will be missed I have such beautiful memories

GOD Bless you Glenn

So sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in knowing that you have so many people that care about you and your family.

I feel honored to have had Martha as my Mother-in-Law, she always treated me like a daughter and since my Mother had already passed I thought of her as my second Mom! She was a beautiful, classy, funny, smart lady who I looked up to and still aspire to be like.
I'm so happy that my daughter Marilyn got to spend time with her and get to know her before azheimer's disease started chipping away at her memory.

Martha, you were well loved and leave us all broken-hearted!
