Martha Jane Frishkorn, age 91, of Zelienople, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, July 22, 2025 while under the care of Concordia of Cabot.
Born January 2, 1934 in Pittsburgh, she was the daughter of the late Terence Duffin and Bridee O'Brien Duffin.
Martha was raised in Wexford and attended St. Alphonsus Elementary School, later graduating from Holy Ghost Catholic High School in 1952. She was a devoted member of Divine Grace Parish – St. Gregory Catholic Church in Zelienople. Martha ran her own photography business, the Martha Duffin Studio, from her home in Zelienople. A passionate photographer, she rarely missed an opportunity to capture life's special moments, preserving countless cherished memories.
Known for her warm heart and friendly nature, Martha never met a stranger and had a gift for making everyone feel welcome. She will be fondly remembered for her kindness and generosity. Most of all, Martha deeply loved her family and treasured every moment spent with them. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, and her presence will be profoundly missed.
She leaves behind to cherish her memory her five children, Terry (Rick) Wehr of Zelienople, Julia Fodor of New Jersey, George (Debbie) Frishkorn, Jr. of Evans City, Maura Hensler of Zelienople, and Samuel (Lisa) Frishkorn of Butler; her ten grandchildren, Liam Fodor, Bridget (Nick) Petiya, Greg McCauley, Kaylyn, Shannon and Jared Frishkorn, Jacqueline and Jacob Hensler, and Shane and Morgan Frishkorn; her three great-grandchildren, Nick Jr., Mia and Arya; and her sister, Mary Ann (Paul) Sawyer of Clermont, Florida.
In addition to her parents, Martha was preceded in death by her beloved husband, George John Frishkorn, Sr., whom she married on October 25, 1958 and who passed away on October 15, 2009; and her sister, Julia Denney.
Friends will be received for visitation from 2-6 P.M. on Sunday, July 27, 2025 at Boylan Funeral Homes, Inc., 324 E. Grandview Ave., Zelienople, PA 16063.
