Martha and Robert shared many memories traveling in their RV throughout Georgia, the Carolinas, Florida, and even as far away as Alaska.

Martha was a charter member of the Union County Hospital Auxiliary for 44 years and was proud of being a “pink lady” and attended every picnic, Christmas party and function that her health would allow. Her awards were displayed prominently on the wall and were protected and cherished.

Born with a servant’s heart, Martha baked pies for “the sick people” and sent hundreds of sympathy and get well soon cards over the years. Even in her later years, blind and homebound, she worried about “the little children and old people,” and tried to find ways to help others.
