Martha Sue Means, age 51, of Gillette, Wyoming passed away peacefully at her home of natural causes on Thursday, March 28, 2013. Martha was born to Samuel and Mabel (Harris) Dove on April 30, 1961 in Winterhaven, Florida. In 1980, Martha moved to Gillette, Wyoming to be closer to her sister and never left. She had six siblings: Johnny Dove, Mary Ann Miller, James Dove, Sammy Dove, and her youngest sibling Jackie Dove. Martha was a stay at home mom, involved in the lives of her children, and many others. Her positive attitude was contagious and she had a great gift of never letting the world get her down. Martha was a very kind and loving person and she would always listen to all those in need, no matter the time of day or night. In her free time, Martha loved to spend time with her family and friends, and she never met a stranger. She thoroughly enjoyed collecting extensive knick-knacks, planting flowers, and gardening each spring. Martha liked to play cards, go to garage sales, bead jewelry, race at crossword puzzles, and travel to Deadwood. She will be greatly missed and was loved by many. Martha is survived by her loving daughter, Erica (Justin) Wood; and her son, Jerrod Means: her niece, Courtni Sieler, and two nephews: Matt and Bo Miller. She was preceded in death by her parents, and sister Charlene Dove Delacruz. A family gathering will be held at a later date in remembrance of Martha Means. Memorials and condolences may be sent in care of Gillette Memorial Chapel, 210 W. 5th Street, Gillette, Wyoming 82716 or condolences via the internet at www.gillettememorialchapel.com.
