Martha was a lifetime member of St. Pius X church. She was a great gardener and member of the Granger Garden Club. Martha was a generous person and shared her home grown vegetables with everyone. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother and had so much love to give. If you said "I love you" to her she would say "I love you more".
