In 1977 she had the opportunity to move to Texas with Associates where she worked and lived in Hurst, Texas for 25 years. She loved and embraced being a “Texan”.
After returning to Indiana, she was diagnosed with cancer and was a survivor after going through chemo therapy treatments.
She was a former member of the First United Methodist Church in Plymouth, Indiana and the First United Church in Euless, Texas. In recent years, she attended Jamestown United Methodist Church with her son and daughter-in-law.
Martha enjoyed eating out, reading, watching her favorite programs on television and especially being with her family. She was an avid Eucher player while residing at Hubbard Hill.
Surviving are Martha’s son and his wife, Steve and Roberta Mann of Osceola, Indiana, grandsons: Michael Mann and Matthew Mann, great grandchildren: Natalie Mann, Nicole Mann and Nathan Mann, a sister, Ruth H. Kinney of Plymouth, Indiana and several nieces and nephews.
