Martha graduated from West High School in Davenport, IA in 1971 where she was an active member of her school's swim team. Shortly after graduating high school, she met and married the love of her life. Their journey took them to New Mexico where they built their life on family and faith. Martha found her passion working in the travel industry where she worked for the United States Air Force, managing their leisure travel office until her retirement after 21 years. She later spent 13 years in Pennsylvania where she enjoyed being Grammie and Great Gram. Martha loved the magic of Christmas and believed everything was better with glitter. Her love of sunshine, bain de soleil and family took her to Arizona where she will be laid to rest and reunited with her love of life of 51 years. She will be greatly missed by her family and all that adored her.
A private service will be held for immediate family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Martha's honor to the Alzheimer's Association (https://www.alz.org/).
