Martha led an extraordinary life. She travelled the world as a elementary teacher with the DoD, even riding the Orient Express. She had a genuine interest in people and their lives.
Her love wasn’t limited to people. She adopted many cats over the years. When unable to provide a home, would drive hundreds of miles to the best cat sanctuary she could find.
She was my Aunt. She travelled often to see us for which I am so grateful. I have so many wonderful memories. She bought my sisters and I our first cookbooks, letting us plan, cook and complete full meals. She was patient, kind and funny and taught me so much through her actions and examples. I miss her.
