Martha Raynor Obituary


Martha Jane Mullin Raynor, 68, of Street, MD, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 5, 2023, after a long battle with cancer.

Martha was born on February 15, 1954, to John William Mullin and Betty Elizabeth Woodward Mullin in Tulsa, OK. She was raised in Edgewood, MD, and in 1972 was crowned Miss Harford County. The same year she married her high school sweetheart, Michael Steven Raynor, and together they raised two loving children, April and Deron Raynor. She was a 1973 graduate of Edgewood High School. From 1975 until the early 1990s she worked alongside her mother at Brevin's Nursing Home in Havre de Grace, Maryland, where she provided exceptional care for the residents and lifted their spirits with her good cheer and genuine warmth.

Martha was a loving and devoted Mother and "Nana" to all. Her unforgettable laugh lit up a room and she delighted in all things Christmas. Her greatest joy in life were her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who she relished and took great pride in. She was a great lover of animals especially her four-legged family dogs Josie and Bailey; grand-dogs and great-grand dogs, and grand-cats. Martha will be remembered for her infectious laugh, generous spirit and unconditional love for family, friends and pets.

In addition to her parents, Martha is preceded in death by her husband, Michael Steven Raynor. She is survived by her daughter, April Raynor (Matthew Gatto); son, Deron Raynor; brothers, George (Lynne), Patrick, and Michael (Sara) Mullin; and sisters, Margaret, and Susan Mullin; four grandchildren, Katelyn (Michael) Brown, Preston, Isabella, and Ana Himelright; and three great-grandchildren, Witten, Taylor, and Morgan Brown; and many nieces/nephews, and great-nieces/nephews.

Services will be held at Browns Funeral Home in Inwood on February 10, 2023, from 3-5pm and are open to the public. Online condolences may be offered at www.BrownFuneralHomesWV.com.

My favorite memory of Martha was watching her dance to Romeo´s and Juliet´s theme song with such grace and beauty. This performance took place in junior high. She was a beauty, in all ways! Dance with the angels, my dear old friend....
