Martha LOEW Obituary

LOEW, Martha King singer and voice teacher, died peacefully, surrounded by family November 19, 2020 in Cromwell, CT. She was 83. Martha was among the first graduates of Boca Ciega High School and received her BA in music from FSU. She moved to New York and married Joseph Loew in 1960. Shortly thereafter, she was invited to study with legendary opera singer, Rosa Ponselle, and to perform with the Baltimore Opera Company. She performed in Amahl and the Night Visitors which was nationally televised from 1963- 1966. Martha paused her career to raise her children, Rebecca and Joshua. She and Mr. Loew divorced in 1979, after which she was encouraged to pursue a vocal career again. She was a soloist with numerous orchestras and choral groups in the New York metro area, and for 30 years had a voice studio in Fairfield County, CT. She was a lifelong learner whose loving spirit touched many, including her five grandchildren.

Dear Loew family,
Martha's performance in the TV version of Amahl brought our family such deep pleasure. Such beautiful and expressive singing and acting.
May she rest in harmonious peace.

I cannot believe that I am seeing this so many years later. Martha changed my life. She was the first person that believed in my singing abilities. She gave me voice lessons in the early 2000s. Because of Martha, I am now a professional opera singer and music choral director. She was wonderful and she is missed.

Periodically I look online for the Martha King who used to be a member of The Schubert Club of Fairfield County. I heard her sing at the workshops and thought she had a very professional voice. This was in the years around 1988-93 or so. I was in Greenwich, CT, then, but we held workshops in Stamford and other nearby towns as well. Is this the same Martha? My condolences to family and friends of this Martha and of "my" Martha, too.

Of all of the televised performances and recordings, it is Martha's splendid version of the role of the mother in "Amahl" that I admire and love the most. Thank you, Martha, for having shared your wonderful vocal and acting gifts with humanity. Rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of this great loss. Martha was a mentor and vocal coach to me when she had her studio in Blackrock in the early 90's. I never had the confidence or belief that I could ever be a lead vocalist in any band until I found her. I wanted to sing hard rock and she told me I had the tone to be the next Garth Brooks. Lol. I wasn't having it!!!! Country??? Really??Now, some 30 years later I am the lead singer in a modern country band who plays the Casino. Who would have thought. She knew back then :) I am again so sorry to see that we have lost her. My sincere condolences go out to her whole family from the bottom of my heart..

Martha encouraged me to sing. She was kind and supportive. She adored her children and grandchildren and spoke about their success stories. Martha will always be in my heart. Condolences to her family and to all who knew and loved her.

Dear Rebecca and Josh -- I just found out this upsetting news, am shocked and saddened. Your mother and I had a long history -- many happy days in Stamford raising all you kids, plus wonderful times in Florida. Allan and I send our love and deepest sympathy to you.

My memories are so warm for this beautiful, special and wonderful woman. She was the mother to my oldest and dearest friend Rebecca and it is so sad to hear of her passing. I loved her like a second mom and she was loving, encouraging, caring and let us be kids when it was okay to be a KID! I will never forget her and she will always be in my heart. I am so sorry for your loss Rebecca, Josh and the rest of her family who loved her. She certainly was a beautiful soul.

I just heard about Martha’s death after a random thought led me to search her online. Rebecca and Joshua, I am so sorry for your loss! You probably do not recall me, but in addition to being a student of your mother’s, I babysat you a great deal. Your mother was one of the most gracious, inspiring, kind people I’ve ever known. She made an impact on my life that will never be forgotten. A truly wonderful soul. Again, my deepest condolences.
