She was a member of the Oak Hill Church of the Nazarene for almost 60 years and served as a Sunday school teacher, choir member, took care of the flowers around the property and set up communion. She loved God, her family, her church, and was a prayer warrior.

Martin, Jack Martin; and sister, Joann (Martin) Sprouse; granddaughter, Sabrina Mackay; and great granddaughter, Brianna Armstrong.
