Be still as my heart overflow with sadness for the loss of a wonderful lady, I remember having to spend the night at the hospital as a child Marty was not my nurse that night but visited my room often checking on me, I hope she knew just how much comfort that brought me. Marty was our neighbor for years, I grew to not only see the Winiger's as friendly neighbors but also as family.

She was a lovely person with a wonderful sense of humor, and I enjoyed being in her company very much. She was an exceptional nurse and was very kind to this young girl who was sitting and caring for her grandparents in the hospital on many, many occasions. My sincere condolences to the family and especially to Kris.
