As a homemaker and loving mother, Martha dedicated her life to raising her family, serving others and living for her Lord.  She was a role model for all who knew her, overcoming many trials.  Following the death of her husband James in 2000, Martha moved to Humble, Texas.  The family mourns her passing, but rejoices in the hope of the resurrection and in the reunion of the life to come.
