Additionally, she leaves behind her great-grandchildren—Emma, Peyton, Allyson, LilyAnn, and Tanner—as well as her brothers-in-law, James (Judith) Massie and Michael Massie.

She is preceded in death by her father, Frank Houck, and her beloved sons, Mathew Massie and Michael Massie, who undoubtedly hold a special place in the hearts of those she has left behind.

Martha Jean Massie's legacy will continue through her family, whose lives have been profoundly shaped by her love, values, and unforgettable spirit. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
