She is preceded in death by her parents, loving husband of 38 years, Bill, and sister Tommie Whitley.

Martha was a long-time member of Country Campus Baptist Church. She loved to travel (most notably to Branson, MO) , and especially in the spring when her favorite wildflowers were in full bloom along the highways. She was admired for her talents in the kitchen and was known for her chicken and dumplings, pineapple upside-down cake, and carrot cake. While she had many hobbies and interests, nothing gave her more pleasure than spending time with her beloved grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by those she leaves behind to cherish her memory and protect her legacy.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Carlisle Cemetery Association.
