She graduated from Weymouth High in 1965 and in the late sixties was a model for Carol Nashe Agency in Boston. Beginning in the 1970's, Martha became an avid political campaigner for both local and Democratic and Republican candidates ending with her work in 2016 on the Weymouth Mayoral campaign.

I am shocked that I found Martha´s obituary online! Always wondered what happened to her so I looked her up only to see this dreaded news.
Martha was indescribable! She had looks, charm, a sense of humor over the top, a laugh to remember so vividly it makes you laugh thinking about it and a wonderful heart. I will always remember her as a wonderful friend. I am so sad to think I missed her funeral. She makes the third of our close-knit friends from H.S. to have passed - she´s the second one this year. There were 7 (magnificent!) of us teens -3 from No. Weymouth and 4 from So. We did everything together including " trunking" it going to the drive-in! We were a force to reckon with on how to have fun doing stupid things! I will love and remember her always and keep her in my heart. With deep sympathy to her great family - Pamela H. (Spear) Kreeb
