Martha Filla Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Following her husband's passing, Martha moved to Franklin 18 years ago to help care for her grandchildren, quickly becoming an integral part of the community she came to love. She was an avid golfer and member of the Legends Golf Club, and a longtime resident of Franklin Park Village, where she served in leadership roles, including HOA President.
Martha was an active member of Grace United Methodist Church, participating in Stephen Ministry, Caring Ministry, Friendship Circle, and serving for several years as a part-time assistant manager in the church office.
She is survived by her children, Sandra Filla and Mark Filla; her son-in-law, Bryan Blackwell; and her grandchildren, Colin and Nathan Blackwell.
Martha will be remembered for her love, generosity, and unwavering devotion to family, faith, and community.
A service to celebrate her life will be held in Franklin, Indiana, with details shared with family and friends.
